Problem accessing radio after 2.0 upgrade

edited June 2020 in SmartSDR for Windows

Last night I successfully upgraded my Flex 6300 to SmartSDR 2.0, and was able to access radio locally after upgrade.

I registered the radio for SmartLink, registered to my "ken@n2vip.org" email address successfully last night also.

Well, today is a new day, and I can't access the radio either locally or via smartlink.

The progression during login is as follows - I start SmartSDR 2.0:

That shows the radio available and registered for SmartLink.

Then, a moment later, the screen changes to this:

Where did SmartLink go?

Then I click on the Flex-6300, and I get this:

But when I click on "SmartLink Setup" I get this:


image

Oh look, my radio IS registered for SmartLink!

If I click on "connect" on the previous screen, after highlighting the Flex-6300, the software just appears to hang, never connecting.

Any thoughts? I'm hoping to use my radio remotely this weekend, any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Ken, N2VIP

    When it fails to connect to the radio, this is the timeout message I see:

    Have you done a cold reboot of the rig?
    Shut if off, remove power for about 30 seconds, return power, and start the rig up again.

    While that is happening, reboot your computer, too.

    Then try again, locally at first, and see if it connects.
    If so, then try via your remote connection.

    BTW>  If you go to the network settings tab in your SmartLink setup, what does it say?
    Are you using the "Automatic" UPnP, or have you manually forwarded ports?
    If you hit the "test" button, do you get the green indicator?

    Assuming all of this is happening on your LAN, you shouldn't see your radio listed as being available via SmartLink. This suggests something unusual is happening in your LAN.

    Thanks all, got a chance to test it today, after power-cycling the radio, and all is well. I was able to access the radio on my local LAN (where I did not see the SmartLink tag next to the radio entry), but when I went to a bookstore to test remote access from my laptop the radio appeared, with the SmartLink tag next to it, and I was able to control it just fine.

    I will update the helpdesk ticket momentarily, but I wanted to add the resolution here - the power-cycle on the radio appears to be needed, or at least very, very helpful. ;^)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
