Step by step RC-1216 H setup
Below follows a recommendation about how to proceed when setting up the system.
1.
Spend some time to read thru this user manual to get familiar with the product.
2.
Apply 12V DC (good stabilized power) to the unit.
3.
Connect the unit with a CAT5 patch cables to the same Ethernet switch or router as
your PC which you will use to setup the system is connected.
4.
Download the Microbit Setup Manager and the latest firmware from
http://www.remoterig.com
to your PC. Follow the instructions about how to install the
Microbit Setup Manager (see chapter
Configuration with Microbit Setup Manager
).
5.
Find out how your network is configured and configure the RC-1216H to fit into your
network (see chapter
Initial IP Setup
) with the Microbit Setup Manager. This has to be
done with both units.
6.
Check the installed firmware version. If the one you downloaded from Remoterig is
newer, update the unit with the new firmware. (see chapter
FW/HW
about how to
update).
7.
When you have configured the unit to fit into your network, Start your Web browser
and connect to the unite by entering the IP-address. If you get in contact with the
internal web server everything is OK.
8.
Make the basic software configuration for your system which is described the later in
this user manual.
9.
Prepare the cables needed for your PA, Antenna or Rotator according to the cable
drawings provided in this user manual and the manual of the connected equipment.
Double check your home made cables with an ohm meter before connecting them to
the units to prevent harm of any equipment. Microbit do not take any responsibility of
damaged units or connected equipment.
10.
After preparing the cables connect them to the controlled equipment. Connect the
power to all equipment. Check with your web browser again that you are in contact
with unit and can control the connected equipment.
11.
When everything works as it should on your local network it’s time to setup your
Internet router so you can reach the unit from the outside world over the Internet. If
you already have other equipment that you remote control you can go direct to 14 as
you don’t need to use a separate Dynamic DNS service.
12.
The first thing is to determine if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) are providing you
with a fixed or dynamic IP-address. Fixed IP:s are rare so you probably have a
dynamic IP-address if you are not paying extra for a fixed one. A dynamic IP is no
problem but you need to use a dynamic DNS service. You can use Remoterigs free
dynamic DNS service or a DynDNS account. New DynDNS account are no longer free.
