General Info FAQ PA1.MIn this document information is gathered about setting up the freeware contest program N1.MM logger with the micro.HAM MK2.R SO2. R controller and Station Master banddecoder.The original text from Joe, W4.TV has been used as a start for this document and updated with texts from Pete, N4.ZR his SO2.R only document.Also information from the N1.MM and micro.HAM reflector are used and of course own trial and error.This document has multiple sections.The information decribed is being used at the stations PA1.T Timon and PA1.M Thomas.Choices have been made depending on the equipment used at these stations PC, Radios etc.As an example My PC has only 1 serial port so there is room for 7 virtual ports in u.Router in combination with N1.MM logger.The shack PC at PA1.T has 3 serial ports, so only 5 virtual ports are left to use and the LPT port is used.The information below is a compilation of information from reflectors, e mail lists etc.Id like to thank all who have written about the MK2.R in combination with N1.View and Download AOpen AX4GR online manual online.AX4GR Motherboard pdf manual download.Im using onboard Realtek ALC888 audio.I can hear audio perfectly in games and windows media player, but I hear no Windows system sounds startup greeting.MM logger.Especially Id like to thank Joe, W4.TV and Pete, N4.ZR for all information they have put on the web, reflectors and in personal e mail to us.A sound card also known as an audio card is an internal expansion card that provides input and output of audio signals to and from a computer under control of.Realtek to Demonstrate Full Range of Connectivity, Multimedia, and Consumer Electronics Solutions at 2017 CES Realteks RTL9020AA Automotive Camera SoC Integrated.Thanks to Tom, N1.MM for adding the micro.Ham protocol to N1.MM logger.This information is placed on the web in the hope that it may help others in setting up the micro.HAM MK2.R SO2. R controller.The setup below is working for us but might not work at your place.The MK2.R is a very complex hardwaresoftware combination as it can be set up in so many different ways.Thomas.PA1. MGeneral information.Firmware updates and router versions.It is neccesary to have loaded the CORRECT firmware version for each version of Router.Each Router install file includes a firmware file.However, Router will only prompt for to load firmware if the installed version is OLD reverting is not expected.Comparing the change logs for Router and the firmware for the MK2.R.Whenever firmware is changed, new Power up settings must be saved to the interface except USB II and power must be cycled in order to properly initialize the controller in the interface.The firmware gets loaded to the interface leaving the file on the computer does no good.Having a mismatch between firmware and Router will almost guarantee problems with PTT and switching.Router tells the firmware of the MK2.R at the bottom of the router Screen.Just before the Winkey rev.Vista and Windows 7, 8, 8.Router 7.Windows 7, 8, 8. 1, 1.Install Audio Output Device Realtek Ac97' title='Install Audio Output Device Realtek Ac97' />If you have performed an upgrade installation, disconnect all USB devices, start Router and delete all virtual ports then close Router and run the uninstaller from the micro.HAM group in the Start menu.After uninstalling, shutdown the computer DO NOT allow the computer to hibernate or sleep.Reboot the computer, download a fresh copy of Router 7.Once the install is complete, connect the USB cable to the micro.HAM interface, start Router, create the necessary virtual ports and configure as needed.The Windows 7 upgrade installation appears to damage some of the driver files required by Router.The effected drivers need to be removed and reinstalled.The only way to remove files that are in use is to do a complete reboot.Router software.The exe file download is the same for update or fresh install.Prevent Windows and USB portshub from invoking sleep mode.These steps appear to prevent Windows from invoking sleep mode or performing any hardware power down actions with the USB devices.Always set the Windows Control Panel Power Options toHigh Performance or Maximum Performance depending on version.In the High Performance optiona click on Change Plan Settings and set Put the computer to sleep to NEVER.Change advanced Power Settings, select USB Settings, followed by USB Selective suspend setting and set Selective suspend to disabled3 In Windows Device Manager, Universal Serial Bus Controllers double click on everyUSB Hub both USB Root Hub and Generic USB Hub, select the Power Management Tab and clear uncheck the box marked Allow the computer to turn off this device to save powerWhen closing the computer, always do a full power off shutdown do not select sleep, hibernate, or suspend.These settings are designed to prevent the computer from entering sleep mode and thus turning off the power to USB ports.Note it is the USB Hubs both Root Hubs which interface to the processor IO bus Root hubs are built into the motherboard and found on PCI or PCIe expansion cards and generic hubs the hubs inside multi port devices or external USB expansion boxes that control power to the USB ports otthe USB Serial Converters themselves.MK2.RProposed Virtual Port numbers.Note The absolute port numbers do not matter.The key is consistency the same port number must be used for a specific function every time it is used.The port numbers below will be used as proposed by Joe, W4.TV.COM 3 Win.
