Specifications

small messages to SERVER is possible. However, this capability is essentially written for
debugging and should not be used during normal operation.
If the auto connect option is checked, the connection is established as soon as you engage
the remote control mode from CLIENT (provided the SERVER is running and listening).
For more information, please see now Remote control operation.
PACKET
1.
From the Client's Terminal (TNC tab) you connect the SERVER using your TNC.
2.
Once the connexion is established you send the message TRXi=PA; (i= address of the
Remote station 0-9) to initialize the remote control.
3.
You can control the remote station from the Remote TRX window.
Notes
The Remote TRX window is automatically launched and the Remote Control mode enabled at
startup if you exit TRX-Manager with Remote Control enabled (SERVER) and auto-connect
checked (CLIENT).
SERVER logs each IP connected under \Misc\Remote.log (TCP/IP only),
Communicating your IP address to anybody exposes you to malevolent intrusions.
Warning
On the SERVER computer, if you do not use the remote control, please disable Remote Control
button to avoid interfering with packet or Internet connections or problems with auto-mode and
other various CAT control functions necessary limited in this mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1) You can not connect SERVER from Client
If you can not connect TRX-Manager via the Internet or your LAN, please check your
Firewall: it must be configured so that TRX-Manager, your VoIP software and IP ports
required for remote control are not blocked. Common errors are mismatched ports and
wrong use of LOCAL and EXTERNAL (PUBLIC) IPs.
Public and local IP addresses may be a source of confusion:
LOCAL IP adresses (generally those with 192.168.....) are used through
a home/local/personal network ; configuring the firewall is required.
PUBLIC or EXTERNAL IP adresses are used through the Internet and require you set up
both your firewall and your router accordingly.
In TCP mode through a public network, the SERVER router must be configured to forward all
packets received on the specified port to the target computer.
In UDP mode through a public network, both SERVER and CLIENT's routers must be configured
to forward all packets received on the specified port to the target computer.
By clicking MY Ips (Remote TRX window) you can get your local (LOC) and your public (EXT)
IPs. Your LOCAL IP may change each time you login your computer if it does not have a static
IP in your network. Your Internet provider may change sometime your PUBLIC IP.
Unfortunately, some providers do not allow using UDP or TCP for remote connections or block
