Hello all, I've successfully set up my K2 for remote operation over the Internet using Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) remote server and VoIP software (IP Sound for the LAN, Skype for the Internet).
I'm now researching ideas on how to remotely switch on and off the Power Supply to the K2 and/or the K2 itself. I suppose the K2 could be left switched "on" and simply cycle the power supply. The computer itself can be powered up using the "Wake On Lan (WOL)" feature and sending a "magic packet" over the Internet. There are power switches out there with built in ethernet cards that cost in the $100-$200 USD range. Tripp-Lite also makes a UPS system with an optional network card that allows remote IP access to the power switches, but it's a pricey solution. Insteon has a whole range of home automation products that are controlled either wirelessly, through a network, or through the home's AC wiring (possibly an RF noise generator). I'd love to hear from anybody that's done this and what their solution was. 73 N5BCN Brian ----- K2 #6800 KSB2 KAT2 KIO2 KNB2 -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K2-Remote-Power-On-Off-Ideas-tp4805003p4805003.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
