Setting up UDP with SDC

W7OMM

I'm running SmartSDR 4.1.3. I ran into the "Slicemaster no longer works" problem, so I downloaded SDC.

I am not using SmartLink, I don't operate remotely.

In SDC's SmartSDR API tab, I am able to connect the TCP port, but the UDP port shows the two link halves as green but they are not connected.

How do I set up a UDP port on SmartSDR so that the UDP connection succeeds? I did set up the TCP and UDP ports in my Windows Firewall, but I may not have done it all correctly.

Thanks for your help!

Before you worry too much about the UDP port, ensure that you have actually defined a Skimmer first.

Without this, there is nothing to use the UDP link. If you do already have a Skimmer set (and it is not working because of UDP failure), try different UDP port numbers. Some are in use and hence cannot be used.

Here, I use 4999 because other ports are not available to me

Got it, that could be the whole problem, since I haven't defined a skimmer. I'll set that up tomorrow - thanks much!
