CONTROL PORT
The Control Port allows an application program (logger) that implements the microHAM Control Protocol to make
use of Station Master's antenna switching control.
When an application opens the control port, Router
reports port as
open
and displays settings used to
configure the port.
Data flow is indicated by two arrows. The green arrow indicates data flow from the application and a red arrow
indicates data to the host application.
Mon:
Opens a “Control Protocol Monitor” window to capture microHAM Protocol communications between a
logger and Router. Controls for the monitor include
Start, Stop, Clear
and
Save
.
The Control Protocol Monitor functions the same as the Rotor Port Monitors.
iLINK couple
When Station Master is used with a
micro
HAM keyer and the two devices are connected using the iLINK port.
The
iLINK couple
box specifies to which keyer is Station Master coupled.
Station Master can be coupled with
micro
KEYER II, MK2R and MK2R+. When coupled, all important data such
as frequency, mode, keying, locks and native control data (Control Port) are transfered between Station Master
and the keyer to synchronize operations.
NOTE:
If Station Master is not physically connected to a
micro
HAM keyer over iLINK port or coupling is
unwanted even when the devices are physically connected, select
none
in the coupling box.
The CAT and 2
nd
CAT ports operate differently depending on the type of
micro
HAM interface being used.
Read carefully!
●
When SM is used with
micro
KEYER, DigiKEYER or CW Keyer, the transceiver radio control port must
be connected to the
Station Master
and the
KEYER
CAT connection not used as described in the
Installation instructions. The CAT and 2
nd
CAT port settings on Ports tab for the
KEYER
are ignored.
Use the Control port on the
KEYER's
Ports tab for native control from applications that support the
micro
HAM Control protocol.
