I’m trying to set up a better panadapter on my laptop for FD. I have SatPC32 running on the USB comport. What I’m trying to do is connect my 9700’s Ethernet port to my laptop. It shows up as an “unidentified network” in WIN10. I have the 9700 configured as 192.168.0.10 , but notice the DHCP field is blank. How do I get the WIN10 laptop to recognize the 9700 over a cabled Ethernet connection?
If you don’t have a DHCP server on your network then you need to configure both the 9700 and your PC with a static IP address (it looks like your 9700 may already be configured this way?) If so then you just need to configure your PC with an address on the same subnet (192.168.0.11 for example). wfview should then be able to connect to your 9700.
Doesn’t appear to be a simple thing to do. I find several ways to do but all require a default gateway?? I don’t have a clue on what to put in there as I’m not using a gateway, I’m trying to connect a direct Ethernet cable from the laptop to the radio. No network involved…
Hello, sorry for the inconvenience, I meant that the debug .sin file does not work here, there are problems at the DLL level and I do not see the form to be able to load the project correctly.
I can ping the 9700 and get a 1ms response. But I’m still not able to get wfview to talk to the 9700. I’m thinking the 9700 Ethernet is not capable of doing this. Hopefully someone reading this knows better…
Correction, I cannot ping the 9700. I tried mistakenly pinged the address of the local connection on the PC…

If you can ping it then wfview should definitely be able to connect to it. It is worth verifying that CI-V transceive is enabled on the 9700. Do you get any messages at the bottom of the wfview screen when you click connect?
Success! I had to use the IP address I created on the Ethernet adapter on the laptop as the gateway address in the 9700. I will let you know if any issues develop. Now I have a nice panadapter display for my FD satellite demo’s. Thanks…
the gw is your router’s ip address and even if it works without, you definitely should not omit it. it would fail for femote operations like time management too.
