Commander directly controls your 6700 via the network; neither SmartCAT nor a serial port is used. Step-by-step instructions are here:

Subject: [dxlab] Help---Flexradio 6700 talking to Commander

?




I previously owned a Flexradio 6300. ?I also have a Yaeus DX-5000. ?I was able to get both of them to work with DX Lab commander---reading frequencies. ?I just upgraded to a Flex 6700 and I have worked maybe 3-4 hours including help from Dudley at Flexradio and I cannot get Commander to read the frequency of the Flex6700. ?Can anyone help me. ?Here is some additional information.

?

I am attempting to connect using TCP/IP port of Smart CAT ? The 6700 is on Port 4 and 12. ?I am running the current version of Smart SDR 1.6.21, ?I am running Windows 10 on my computer. ?The radio is direct connected to the back of the computer using an eternity cable. ?(just as i did with the 6300). ?By pinging i have confirmed that the 6700 and the computer are talking as it is recognizing the IP address of the 6700.

?

When I open up commander, I properly displays the IP port at the top and tries to connect however it times out and I get the message "Can't connect to FlexRadio SDR-6700. No response from any network".

?

When going to config within Commander---I have the Primary CAT Serial Port set to Com 4 and I have confirmed that the Flex 6700 is on Com 4. ?Baud rate 19200 Word =8 Parity =None Stop= 1 DTR= Off RTS= Off. ?Under General Tab- I have the SDR-6700 listed. ?

?

My 6700 's IP address is 169.254.9.91 ?Now when i go to Commander and General tab and his "reset"---in the commander window it first says it is trying to connect with 10.10.0.73 then moves to 169.254.23.151---it never tries to connect with the radio's IP address of 169.254.9.91. ?Can't figure out why.

?

On last item, in the General tab in Commander Config---I manually tried to put the ip address of the radio in the 'Radio Selection Box" ?with the appropriate Port 4 designated---and hit reset, then in the Commander window it tries to connect--but never does--I don't get the unable to connect message but it simply will not connect.

?

Help---there must be something obvious that I am overlooking---
