K4 Question

[K5WA]

Wayne (or anyone),

 

I have a rather specific question.  When I operate locally with a K4, I need
an RS-232 connection to the local computer/accessories but when I'm remote,
I will only need the K4's ethernet connection.  Can the K4 have BOTH enabled
simultaneously?  In the K3S, it is one or the other (USB or RS-232).

 

Thanks,

Bob K5WA

"In the K3S, it is one or the other (USB or RS-232)."

That limitation is surprising to me.  My Kenwood TS-590S allows simultaneous use of USB CAT and COM CAT.  My current station architecture would have been much more difficult to implement without that capability.

If that turns out not to be supported, there are ethernet<->serial
adapters that are used to provide remote console ports on web servers.
I think Black Box, Raritan, and others make them.

Yes. The K4 can be controlled over all of its I/O ports simultaneously: Ethernet, USB (with two virtual serial ports), and separate RS232 (DE9 connector). We use an internal server architecture so all remote clients have independent access.
