Re: [wsjt-devel] IC-7700 Serial Over LAN - The untold story (well, it WAS untold)

2018-07-03 Thread John Zantek 
Yep, did exactly that before I came to the WSJT-X group, where I’ve subscribed 
for a long time and always knew the correct answer would be forthcoming.  If 
you’ll notice, George also failed to establish CAT control with a 3rd party 
application.  In his case, he was attempting with FLDigi.  He never does 
explain, even in the screen shots later down the page, what additional things 
were necessary to make it work.  

 

I sent him an email last week.  I’m hoping to find someone who actually has an 
IC-7700 v2.0 firmware where we can step though the litany of configuration 
items to find the missing “Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that one.”

 

Flex does TCP, which makes it oh-so-easy.  Icom is UDP.  Icom debugging is Hex 
dumps, unlike the other manufacturers.

 

Time to take this one off-line and go PM or SMS (360-434-2512), rather than 
consume more valuable developer bandwidth on the listserv.

Good evening John,

(BTW, I tried to respond to your posted e-mail address, and the entire internet 
sneezed. It's a mess I tell you)

 

I used to explain to people that search engines such as Google could offer them 
some needed information much faster than asking a group of people on a news 
group. I should start doing that again.

 

Enter the following search term into Google without the square brackets as 
shown in the next line

[ ic-7700 serial over lan ]

and then hit enter.

 

My first hit was 

 


Icom IC7700 and Digital Modes via LAN 
<https://www.george-smart.co.uk/radio/icom_ic7700_and_digital_modes_via_lan/> 


By George Smart M1GEO

... the link is: 
https://www.george-smart.co.uk/radio/icom_ic7700_and_digital_modes_via_lan/

scroll past the Youtube Links (beware of cat videos), and the third item down 
is George's settings from the Icom Remote Utility screen.

 

Take some time and read the entire article, and then, if you have questions, 
you MAY wish to communicate with George, as it appears he's already 
accomplished the goal you seek.

Good luck with your interface quest, and for the snipping impaired, please note 
I only copied the relevant portion of the digest containing reference material 
for the answer at hand.

 

73 and Happy 4th of July

Tnx, Neil, and I agree that there are HW workarounds to accomplish the goal.  
I?m just still amazed that additional HW would be needed, given that the 
IC-7700 has a fully functional LAN port and firmware server.  I?ve even found 
some Youtube videos ?claiming? that third party apps like FLDigi, etc., should 
work via the LAN (UDP 50001-50003) for both CAT and audio, but none have 
demonstrated it successfully.  
 
 
 
Quite maddening for a top level rig with built-in RTTY and PSK and 
manufacturer-supplied networking tools (Remote Utility app) and full remote 
capability, albeit only with their software.  I can?t believe Icom is 
proprietary with its IP stack, as some say.
