Elecraft k3S and K3/0 Mini with remote rig

[Ron Gould-2]

I have a pair of remote rigs which I use to remotely control a Elecraft K3S via Elecraft K3/0 mini which I purchased from Elecraft.  Everything has been working fine until I had to reset my router, a Apple Time Capsule.  Now the  remote rig just beeps at me and does not turn K3S on.  Documentation is difficult to find on exactly how to configure a Time Capsule to work with the remote rigs.  

I contacted Elecraft technical support but they referred me to manuals on remote rig and their K3 mini manual but I find little in the way of Mac support with a Apple router.  Elecraft says this is beyond their networking knowledge.  I believe I have set the port forwarding up correctly but since documentation is limited, I am not sure I have done so correctly or have missed something.  Hopefully someone out there has theirs up and running with Apple hardware and can advise or Elecraft can help better than they have. 73’s

Ron,

You might find more knowledgeable people at the Remote Rig forums.  The
ham world is mainly Windows oriented, and that includes the support
staff at Elecraft, so questions about mac applications and Apple gear
may not have easy answers for them.

I recommend calling Apple technical support at [phone]; you may have
to get them to escalate it to a higher "guru" on the Apple Airport; I had
to do that, but am satisfied with the results.

Ron,

It is really very simple. There is a guide at:
<https://portforward.com/apple/>

If you still have problems, drop me a direct mail. I can set it up using
Teamviewer in about two minutes.

Don is correct.  I seriously doubt Microbit can help either, but if you
contact them, be aware that RemoteRig comes from Sweden.  Michael speaks
excellent English, however as is always true when communicating across
international borders, technical things in one country may have
different names in another.

The odds are extremely high [like p=0.99] that when you reset your
router, DHCP assigned a different IP address to your RRC's, or to your
wireless adapter if you're using WiFi.  One never knows with Apple
[being different and obscure seems to be part of their business model],
but just like your RRC's, most routers have an internal web server you
can access with any browser.

The IP address for our ATT is 192.168.1.254  I found it just by starting
at 192.168.1.255 and working down, most seem to be at the upper or lower
end of the range of the last octet. 192.168.<mumble>.<mumble> is one of
several IP ranges that are never broadcast [i.e. private to your
internal network] and are most commonly used in consumer products. You
can then look at the local device list and get the DHCP-assigned IP for
your RRC(s).  Go in to them and change the IP settings and it will
likely work.
