Protocol 2,v1.9,Anan 8000 no connection?

Postby 46flatlander » Fri Apr 19, 2019 11:09 pm

Anam 8000 running factory Protocol 1 just the way it was shipped, flashed with HPSDR bootloader 2.0.4.4 .Everything seemed to go
smoothly until I tried connecting to my computer ...no joy! Tried static IP, followed W1AEX walk through no luck,spent several
frustrating hours,finally loaded Protocol 1 back on machine all and is normal! I suppose I will wait for next release to flash again.

Any thoughts ? WiJAC

Is the 8000 provided a Gigabit Ethernet connection? If not then it won't work. P2 firmware runs ONLY at GigE speed, it will not connect at 100BASE-T speed.

If your PC doesn't have a GigE NIC, you can add one for $15 or $20 (PCIE card or USB dongle). Or you can put a GigE switch between the PC and radio, also for about $20.

Dear Scott, Here's some more info.The radio connected with ho problem to my Linux box running linHPSDR, but
as you know the software isn't ready for prime time. I found another NIC which I will install in the Win 10 machine after
I return from dump. Thanks W1JAC

Dear Scott, Stepped away from my "connectivity" problem for several days and thought about it. Protocol 2 worked good on linhpsdr
but no goon Win 10 machine, re read Protocol 2 instructions and realized PowerSDR wasn't listed,loaded both SDRConsole and Thetis on
Win 10 machine and all is good! Thought I would post so someone else would not be as stupid as me! Thanks
