TCP Port for KPA500 and KAT500

This may be a dumb question but here goes....

In the Elecraft remote software for the KPA500 and the KAT500 the TCP port
for the KPA500 is 4626 and 4627 for the KAT500. Are these ports somehow
"hard coded" in the communications software for the two units?...OR can one
assign any port.

I am thinking about the port forwarding that must be done in my remote
router as I am working on the installation of an Ethernet to Serial Port
server at my remote site. Should I use the elecraft port number in the
remote router to direct packets from the control end to the IP of the Port
Server at the remote to which the amp is connected....and vice versa to
establish the return path from the amp to the router and control software
at the Control end.

I hope someone can understand this better then the way I have described it.

Re: TCP Port for KPA500 and KAT500

There must be an interface box in between the network and the KPA500 and KAT500, since neither support network communications, only serial.

You might want to describe what you are doing and what devices you are using.

The interface is a StarTech NETRS2322P two port Ethernet to Serial Port
server which will eventually go at my remote to replace the PC there that
currently runs the Host software for the KPA and KAT.

TCP Port forwarding must be done in both routers to open the full duplex
path between the Control PC and the remote serial server.

What I am asking is: should I use the TCP Port numbers that Elecraft uses
in their remote control software.?

Re: TCP Port for KPA500 and KAT500

I suspect the addresses in the remote software are fixed, or at least that is their default. With that in mind, if you want to use the remote software, then you probably should set up the ethernet serial adapter to use those specific ports. I’m not really familiar with how the remote software is set up, but I am sure we can ask.

Hope this helps…
