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.

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