PORTS TAB
Once the virtual ports have been created they must be associated with a specific function or device channel
(e.g., Control, CW, PTT, etc.). These assignments should correspond to settings of the application
software and must be configured first in Router then in the application.
Proper port configuration is critical for operation with application software.
MK2R has ten channels – each channel provides an indication of the settings applied by the application and
current state (e.g., or or off). These eight channels (functions) are available for each radio:
–
CAT (uses RxD and TxD)
–
2
nd
CAT (virtual “fork” for the main CAT channel)
–
FSK (uses TxD for FSK and RTS for PTT if checked)
–
2
nd
FSK (uses TxD for FSK and RTS for PTT if checked)
–
CW (uses DTR or RTS)
–
PTT (uses DTR or RTS)
–
2
nd
PTT (uses DTR or RTS)
–
Foot Switch (uses CTS, DCD, DSR or RING)
These channels are common to both radios.
–
WinKeyer2 (uses RxD and TxD)
–
Control (uses RxD and TxD)
NOTE: Do not assign virtual ports for the channels/functions which are not used by your applications. It is
unnecessary and only consumes resources.
