Hello the program looks very nice and the functionality is just what I am looking for
But I have been trying to let it function with my IC7100 many times without result…
My laptop used with IC7100 is functioning well with WSJTx MSHV N1MM cat control and audio wise
Wfview connects the IC7100, frequency is displayed and follows tuning of the rig
Sometimes the audio level bars indicate audio and RF levels
TX on /off ptt Data on/off and power off on are responding
But no audio is present on the laptop speakers.
Next time I start the program again with same settings rf levels are zero…
For unknown reasons random…
I want obviously to use the server option to control the radio over network remote.
But although the remote PC reports an IC7100 the radio list is empty nothing is active
The frequency stay zero or sometimes an complete strange freq is displayed
So in short I can not get it to work with the IC7100
Is there any one here that can tell me it works with the IC7100 connected CAT and audio wise?
and that the connected PC + IC7100 does offer the server function to connect over the network?
You will not hear any audio except when you ARE the remote side listening to the radio. The server side will not present audio to the speakers of the computer.
wfview is known to work well with the 7100.
Please read the user manual on our website, especially the page titled “ Remote Operation (server)”.
I had setup the server and client as described in the manual
The settings seems straight forward and simple
I can not see any fault in the settings on both ends.
The server is configured at a laptop connected to the IC7100 USB and over wifi sharing the same router
The client PC is connected over wire both in the same sub net.
pinging vice versa is positive.
( I must say first after a reset of the laptop’s firewall ping both ways was positive)
And the client reports the IC7100 upon connecting, but that is all what happens
Some fault must be here , that is why I asked to share working configuration with IC7100 and Wfview
On the server side, do you see “IC-7100” in the lower-right corner?
Please make sure CI-V Transceive is set to “ON” on the radio. Please do not check “Manual Radio CI-V Address” and do not check “Use CI-V address as Mode lD too”.
After verifying those settings on the radio and within wfview, please check that basic control is working on the server side.
Did you not see the bit where Elliott said you MUST NOT set a manual CI-V address or use CIV address as Model ID, this is ONLY for older radios that don’t support CIV transceive?
I started again with the IC7100 remote.
Instantly after setting the server PC connected to the IC7100
The client side MACbook air can control the IC7100 freq mode and all other settings and I hear RX audio from the Macbook speakers.
I can switch the IC7100 to tx I see the the client TX audio level 2nd meter moving up the microphone is working, but zero TX audio at the IC7100
The server audio is USB data mode off or on no difference
Is has worked before … one time the IC7100 modulated ( USB mode) fine next day the zero output although the mod level bare was moving
The audio stream from client to server is missing, the RX audio to the client is fine. The Server WFview is at my W10 PC in the same network subnet.
Local using FT8 the audio codec streams to and from the IC7100 work seamless
I do not know a ham that use WFview with the IC7100
Maybe someone can send me the the correct settings for the IC7100 although WFview looks straight forward and simple to setup but I remote operation won’t work here…
btw remote working using ICOM’s rsBA1 does not work at all, client and server do not see each other with both PC wired to the same router. There seems to be a curse here on working remote…
What could be missing can the network block the incoming audio stream I looked at the firewall settings audio is enabled
Any help appreciated much
Hi , now installed V2.03 on PC W10 after fixing the annoying VisualC++ runtimes install problem
( see ref below)
Last year 2024 V1.6x was working remote but RX audio only.
With V2.03 now Wfview server and client are on same LAN subnet and can ping each other.
The WfView configuration is the the same that worked in V1.6x but remote RX audio only .
But nothing happens at client side no IC7100 is detected.
It seems remote working here just won’t work … I do not need it but it would be nice to have…
Version 1.6x one day worked remote with TX output and good audio quality next day not any-more . and since then I never saw TX output again.
The client was V1.6x on my Macbook OS Ventura 13 with OCLP that crashed and now had to downgrade to Bigsur that is supported by the hardware without using OCLP. It does not run WfView 2.03 as noted but V1.6x is running, also without connecting the server.
On another laptop W11 running WfView2.03 same LAN subnet will not see the server either.
I think I will have to rest this and do things I can understand. CW DX-ing contesting f.i.
I have programmed my WIFI YAESU Gxxx rotor controller using ESP32 , that works fine so I think I am not a complete network null, but born 1952 that could be the problem… … remote control a transceiver is a bridge too far it seems…
My conclusion is that the problem must be in WfView Does a positive ping not prove that the LAN network is full connective? btw the firewall has WfView apps approved although for a LAN this should not be needed.

Methode 1 worked for me
do I have to allow something in the network settings also for LAN?
I did allow WfView app in the Firewall for udp and ftp is that maybe not correct and blocking the network access?
I have removed and re-entered WfView in the Firewall in and outgoing all protocol’s (willekeurig) and ports
now something changed remote client say wrong password dough I have entered the correct set …
so there must be some connection now that tries and fails on password
after some fiddling with the simplest user and password now the client does not say wrong password
but “say” nill and nothing happens to the WF display will reboot the PC’s what else…
…
YES client connects immediate after having the server Firewall changes and W10 reboot
luctor et emergo …
I did switch off FW to test if that was the problem but that did not change
but for every change in those settings the system needs to reboot to activate it seems
Thanks for reading and reply it works finally within my LAN next difficulty is to let it work from WLAN external … wow that will be a temptation…
as a start a hot spot did not work ( off course…) my router IP4 forward was set for 60001 60002 60003 then I also needed to set mask 60001 60002 60003 no explanation was given what for that is
Typical those network settings are never complete documented so that inexperience users have low chance it is gonna work.
DMZ on or OFF possible the router needs a power cycle who knows… There are more users connected in real life…
well, security-wise the default would be to deny everything, except what is needed. Nothing else.
Now, assuming wlan is not wireless lan but internet → home, you need to configure your router, IPv4 to use a NAT rule where you point to your ‘server’ and use the ports you have defined with the protocol UDP only.
Okay thanks I can redefine the f.w. and then reboot the PC to activate the change
Router is Netgear with wnr3500 open router firmware in the back of the home via cat6 to the KPN router
The W10 PC with the server IC7100 ( and others) is wired to the Neatgear LAN port
Its wifi port is giving local wifi acces f.i. laptop where a client 2.03 can run for test
some extra backround info:
I found that my old very reliable Eminent router wifi connection failed having external DHCP !
It did run many years without failure though using its own DHCP and subnet…
So i tried an older TPlink where wifi did work with its DHCP off using the Experia DHCP
But that router needs resets it did not work longer than 1 day without reset…
The Netgear runs many months now without failure, but does need a very good ferrite clamp with high uH over 12V line 200+ uH several windings to silence RFI at low shortwave bands 80 160 m
The DHCP server is at the KPN Experia box V10 having ADSL+ over a very long tel line

I tried to open the ports I use 60001 2 3 and DMZ but did not reboot because we also have TV over that router and it has an extra 4G router in parallel we can reach 50 60Mb/s max here
will change and reboot tomorrow to see if Wf can be reached over my hotspot.
Also the experiabox router takes some time 3-4m to reboot and re-establish the internet access
btw I just did change the f.w. to only UDP and 60001 .2 .3 and over LAN the client connects normal
hotspot not yet…
The restart seemed to be necessary for the W10 desktop to activate the renewed f.w.settings before restart the client did not connect . Not sure if the routers also needs reboot to effectuate changes in setting. But Windows PC’s mostly need a reboot in my experience and others I have asked in the radio world.
I did reboot the experia router needed or not . I can connect the Wf server over the hotspot but no audio yet frequency tuning works.
The DMZ just trial and error to see if that would open the access to Wf .
I will check if i have server in DMZ mode can I set this I do not know only in the router I can set DMZ mode to al application?
one other thing noticed at remote side in USB and data mode on disconnect and reconnect sets mode to LSB and data mode off a sort default
