Installation guide

Form2001

This guide explains the minimum required settings to configure a remote control system, taking the following illustration as 
an example. In this example, a radio is connected to the Base station’s PC with the supplied USB cable, and a remote station 
remotely controls the radio through the network.

•  We recommend that you place the Remote station’s PC near to the Base station's PC and a radio, to check that the settings 

are correct, and that you can correctly control the radio. 

•  You need to register the ID and password to the Base station to enable the Remote station to access the Base station and 

the radio. 

BE CAREFUL

 in managing IDs and passwords.

•  See the Instruction Manual, for detailed instructions on the RS-BA1.
  You can also refer to each software’s help file, for assistance with the functions and settings.
  While the software is open, push the [F1] key of the PC’s keyboard to open the help file.
