LAN troubleshooting

Setting up a small NUC server connected via USB to the IC-7300, with a Laptop as the remote. Followed the setup instructions for both machines (local and remote). On the home network I can ping the respect IP addresses in both directions. Log file on both seem to show they are working ok but I cant get control of the radio. Noticed in the log file for the server, after the server opens the COM5 port (CP210x USB to UART Bridge) I get the following log message:
“INF serial: Could not open pseudo terminal port, please restart”
What does this mean.
The radio is controllable at the server end but dead at the remote.
Couldn’t find a related topic.

The pseudo serial port error means that under External Control, the “Virtual Serial Port” may have gotten enabled accidentally.

Please disable that feature and try again.

If possible, can you please send us log files from both server and client?

Hi.
I have a wifi connexion problem too.
“Communication failed” after a moment…
Here is my logfile, sent too.

Thank you for help.

Firstly, please do not “piggy-back” on somebody else’s topic, please use the “new topic” button as although the symptoms of your issue might look similar, they are completely different!

Looking at your log, you are seeing massive packet loss, most likely due to the quality of the wireless connection. This would need to be fixed before you can reliably connect using wfview.

Phil,

Way on TDY for next two weeks. Will get the log files back to you when I return. Disabled the Virtual Serial Port on the server. It changed the fault to “Could not start rigCaps” another mystery error code :slight_smile:

Kind regards
