This guide contains instructions on how to configure the remote control system, and how to remotely control a
radio.
If you are using one of the following radios and connecting to the network directly, see the Installation guide B
(For radios with the Network function).
• IC-7851
• IC-7850
• IC-7800 (Firmware version 3.00 or later)
• IC-7700 (Firmware version 2.00 or later)
• IC-7610
Before reading this guide, please finish the installation, using the RS-BA1 Preparations.
See the RS-BA1 Instruction Manual for detailed instructions.
Example of the remote control system
This guide explains the minimum required settings to configure a remote control system, taking the following
illustration as an example. In this example, a radio is connected to the Base station's PC with the supplied USB
cable, and a remote station remotely controls the radio through the network.
• We recommend that you place the Remote station's PC near to the Base station's PC and a radio, to check that
the settings are correct, and that you can correctly control the radio.
• You need to register the ID and password to the Base station to enable the Remote station to access the Base
station and the radio. BE CAREFUL in managing IDs and passwords.
• See the Instruction Manual, for detailed instructions on the RS-BA1.
You can also refer to each software's help file, for assistance with the functions and settings.
While the software is open, push the [F1] key of the PC's keyboard to open the help file.
