Internet Remote using RCFORB and VSPE
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2021 9:01 pm
Hi,
I've been tinkering with RCForb and VSPE but I don't speak the language so haven't made any progress.
The WAN connection here is provided by an AT&T cell modem; on a good day download rate is about 95 Mbps with latency of low 30ms. I wasn't planning on running Thetis on a PC at the remote site in SNJ. The QTH network here is not typical:
- ANAN7000 (in the quonset hut down the road) connected to unmanaged 1G Ethernet switch to fiber converter (running a pair of multimode AT&T fibers from Q-Hut to house)
- Fiber run abt 1000ft to converter at house and back to 1G Ethernet
- 1G Ethernet to 1G multi-port unmanaged switch NetGear GS208 ; LAN connection to PC running Thetis in the home office PC
- 1G unmanaged switch to NetGear NightHawk cell modem
- AT&T cell tower about 3 miles line of site 4G LTE (no 5G on the tower yet)
My work around today is using SPLASHTOP for Business screen scraper to grab the Thetis dashboard from the PC in home office. My test was using iPhone AT&T 1st Net HotSpot with wireless for Mac Pro Book running SPLASHTOP and SKYPE. Throughput on iPhone was not acceptable. Audio was watery. I will test again when I'm at a remote site in SNJ ; SNJ has both 5G wireless and Fios.
Wondering if there is a write-up (with step by step directions to get RCForb and VSPE working) for dummies like me who were licensed back in the early 60s. I have no objection to adding hardware if necessary. Wondering when AL is going to come up with a built-in server???
