You might need to reconfigure the Pigtail to create an AdHoc network.
3. If you click on that Pigtail, a check mark should show up next to it. The red LED should stop
blinking the the green should be steadily blinking.
4. In the same screen, if you click the little > symbol on the right, while connected to the Pigtail it
should dig down into the network settings for the wireless network.
5. Is there an address in there? If not, press the back button and wait about 10 seconds. Re-
check for an address. It should assign itself one after about 30 seconds.
6. What is it and what is the subnet mask?
It should start with 169.254 and the subnet mask should be 255.255.0.0. This will be the default.
7. Is the Router field empty? It should be by default.
If there's an address in the router field and you haven't reconfigured it to join a wireless network,
rather than create an adhoc one, you should remove it.
You will have problems with doing callsign lookups and the like if a 3G connection is also
available.
8. If you want the IP address assignment to be faster in the future, set the IP address to
169.254.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. Leave the Router field empty.
9. Open HamLog. Click Tools->Pigtail. After about 10 seconds you should see an entry in the
Pigtail list, most likely it will be 169.254.1.1. If the Pigtail never shows up, something's wrong. I,
N3WG, have never seen this happen so we should chat. Get in touch via
[email protected].
10. Click your radio manufacturer, click your radio, click on the discovered Pigtail.
The text at the top of the screen should change to: Selected: 169.254.1.1 (Manufacturer)
11. Click the back button a couple times to get back to the main log screen. Click + to add a
contact.
12. The Pigtail should connect and a green icon should appear. If it fails to connect there will be
an informative message that pops up that says why.
