I use the IC-7610 and I want to connect it to wfview via LAN. I have all the settings made for the 7610 as specified. When I activate ‘Connect’ on wfview, I get the message: “Searching CI-V bus for connected radios”. Can someone help me.
Thanks.

Hi Reinhard,
Please check and make sure that “CI-V Transceive” is ON with the IC-7610. The “searching” phase uses CI-V Transceive to discover connected radios.
Let me know if this solves the issue. If not, there are a few other things we can try.
Thanks,

Hi Elliott,
Yes, I had switched that on. The connection to the 7610 does not take place.
Thanks
Reinhard
Hi Reinhard,
What operating system are you using?
(my follow up will be how to send a debug log)
Thanks,

Hi Elliott,
I use Windows 10

Can you try manually defining the CI-V address? Go under “Settings” and enter the default C-7610 CI-V address, which is “98”. Then press “Save Settings”. Now close wfview and re-open it.
Let me know if you have the same error.
Thanks,

Hi Elliott,
I found the mistake. In the menu was the sub item “Network Control = OFF”. after changing to ON the program works perfectly.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Reinhard,
Glad that worked!

Can anyone help me find menu sub-item “Network Control” mentioned in this topic? I am running WFVIEWER using the LAN network and a MacBook Air (MacOS High Sierra).
Thank you!

New IC-7610/wfview user here. I’m also trying to get the radio to connect via LAN, but after fiddling with all the settings mentioned here, I’m still having no luck.
The wfview settings are currently:
Radio Connection: Network
Hostname: 192.168.0.10
Control Port: 50001
Username: <same as Network User 1 ID on the radio>
Password: <same as Network User 1 Password on the radio>
Network Control: ON
On the radio side, I have CI-V Transceive set to ON, CI-V USB Port set to Link to [REMOTE], and the CI-V Baud Rate set to AUTO.
In my shack, the computer, radio, and internet connection are all hooked to a NetGear GS105 Gigabit Switch. Could that possibly be what’s screwing things up?
Thanks for any guidance you might be able to give me here.
I miss the ip address, netmask, default gateway, dns entries. Did you restart the rig after enabling the network settings?
Does ntp work? What is your network segment? Are you in the same network as the rest? Can you ping your rig?
In other words, there are too many things that are missing to even get an idea…
Can you ping the radio from your computer? That is the first thing to try.
Second, check the wfview log (just press the button) and see if there are any meaningful errors. Do you see “IC-7610” in the lower-right corner of the application after you try connecting?

I had the same issue and ended up changing the port number. It seemed that port 50001 was in use by something else! Once changed; it all came to life.
That may not be the same solution for you but that worked for me

Hello, you need to put the exadecimal address of the radio, in the case of an Icom IC-7300 it is 94, I think that is it, greetings from Spain, Francisco EA4HPM
NO please don’t do this. Always enable C-IV transceive mode and leave C-IV to auto within wfview. The manual setting is ONLY for the handful of radios that don’t support transceive mode.

Unfortunately the default port number range that Icom uses is used by the AnyDesk remote access software; maybe also others. I set my radio and Wfview to 40001…
OK. I just played around with this some more. I am not able to ping the radio. I have the IP address set to 192.168.0.10. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. There is no entry for the Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server, or the 2nd DNS Server.

It looks like you are on a totally different private subnet!
You will need to get the radio and your computer on the same network (or configure an unusual NAT between two private networks).
Once you do that, and you can ping between the radio and PC, it will probably work just fine.

Hmmmmm. Part of my answer is right in the log: 2023-06-13 22:01:55.796 INF udp.server: My IP Address: “10.1.10.202” I changed the Hostname to 10.1.10.202, and now when I look at the log, I can see that wfview is talking to the radio, and is trying to log in. I’m getting an “invalid username/password” error, though. I’ve set the wfview Username to the radio’s Network User1 ID and the wfview Password to the radio’s Network User1 Password. Is that not how it should be set?
