Re: Basic question

If you are in range of that RP-2C/D then when you put your ID-1 in DD RPS, have the call signs right, put in fixed ip/mask/default gateway addresses in you laptop, and plug the ID-1 into the local laptop you should see the radio and the access point talking. If not in range your ID-1/laptop will be trying to connect but you will see nothing coming back.

On range: We see that even when we have 3 bars in the DV mode we sometimes get nothing in the DD mode on the co-located site using same antenna and a triplexer. (no FEC and a 128/4.8 worse path I suppose).

We have put a small laptop behind the RP2C running the network we wanted (ignoring the normal ip address of the 2C) and we then can ping the laptop "server" and access files on that server. That is why I think of it as a bridge but I am not a networking expert. Just manage a complete D-STAR Stack where we are playing with the 23cm DD every once in a while.

Also understand on just a single ID-1 so hard to do testing. We had a gang buy them so started setting up LAN parties to try every thing.

We stashed the docs we had here

Setting up routes the way Steve Stroh mentioned (each ID-1 has a unique
3rd octet) is simple and easy to do, but (of course) it's a
bastardization of how networking is generally done. With the right
router that supports classless addressing, it should not be necessary to
chew up a whole class C subnet for each ID-1.

I'm in the unfortunate position of having an ID-1 and no one to talk to
in DD mode (or in DV mode, but that may change soon). A friend (Scott
Honaker / N7SS) has an RP-4000V, RP-2D,& RP-2C on a tower nearby, but
w/o an Internet connection. Since (I think) I'm the only one that could
hit it on 23cm, I can't really tell if I am hitting it (I can hit the
70cm unit w/ ease @ 5W).

Hence, I can't experiment, as the RP-2D gives NO on-air indication that
it even exists (let alone powered on, receiving, etc). I think there is
a way to set up IP routing that would work in a more conventional
manner, but I can't test my idea(s).

I can hit the 2m& 70cm modules of the K7LWH system (about 25 miles
away), but not the 23cm DV or DD modules.

My guess is that a few of you are in the same boat as well ...
