Connecting K3/0 to K3S

w4ien
I have a problem that I am sure some of you have run into.  I am trying to use my K3S remotely using a K3/0 with the RemoteRig 1258 MKIIs hardware.  I can get everything set up except for the connection from the RS232 to the RS232 on the RemoteRig hardware.  The RS232 on the K3S does not have the same type of connector  as the RemoteRig hardware.  Has anyone gotten around this problem.  Any help would be appreciated.  Hope I explained my situation well enough so it is understandable.

Re: Connecting K3/0 to K3S

There is an RS-232 "dongle" that ships with every K3S. It has an RJ-45
plug on one end and an RS-232 DE9 connector on the other end.
If you plug it in, change the switch on the KIO3B board (inside the K3S)
to RS-232 and change the RS232 menu entry to 28400 baud, you can use
that connection just like on the K3 - note that you will also use that
same connection for firmware downloads and other K3 Utility operations
(i.e. the USB connection will not be usable).

Sorry for the finger slip - thanks Ed - the baud rate is 38400.  You
will not find 28400 listed, so it should be obvious.

It’s 38400 baud, not 24800.
