Remote control overview
TRX-Manager lets you operate any transceiver by remote control through a LAN (through a
local area network or the Internet) and even via Packet. TRX-Manager also offers remote
operation of rotators and CW keyer.
Although many software solutions or alternatives exist to control a remote computer
(including the TRX-Manager's Web Server), the standard TRX-Manager's remote control
mode minimizes the information being passed on the network and thus, gives faster real-time
control - with minimal latency - which a DX operation requires, with very low bandwidth
requirements (even practicable via Packet at 1200 Bauds !).
This standard mode of remote control (described below and called standard remote control
mode) works with any transceiver BUT features a generic user interface, the same for all
transceivers. However, many functions are supported and macros can be defined for particular
needs.
An enhanced mode (called Real-Mode) allows using your transceiver remotely - with
TRX-Manager - almost exactly as if you are controlling the transceiver locally (supports
opening of the Transceiver/Levels window...). However, it requires a fast network, it is not
available with all transceivers and controlling one transceiver with two software
simultaneously may be somewhat disconcerting. This is why, this mode requires a good
experience of the standard mode and understanding of how TRX-Manager works: so please DO
NOT START configuring TRX-Manager in real-mode first...
Standard control requires you consult:
Remote control settings
Operation
Transmission of Audio
Syntax of commands
Requirements
You must have at least:

a transceiver and its interface,

a local network or a good access to the Internet (or two stations equipped with VHF TNC
for a control via packet)

two computers with TRX-Manager installed and running,

a voice link (VHF, Phone line, Skype...).
Principle of operation
TRX-Manager implements its own client/server interface and can exchange commands
between both stations using Windows® networking capabilities. UDP and TCP protocols are
supported. A strict syntax has been implemented, such as commands controlling a transceiver
and are automatically generated by the program but may also be entered on the keyboard.
The Packet connections must be processed through the Terminal.
