The Control Port allows an application program (logger) that implements the microHAM Control Protocol to make
use of Station Master's antenna switching control.
When an application opens the control port, Router
reports port as open and displays settings used to configure the port.
Data flow is indicated by two arrows. The green arrow indicates data flow from the application and a red arrow
indicates data to the host application.
Mon: Opens a "Control Protocol Monitor" window to capture microHAM Protocol communications between a
logger and Router. Controls for the monitor include Start, Stop, Clear and Save.
The Control Protocol Monitor functions the same as the Rotor Port Monitors.
When Station Master Deluxe is used with microKEYER II, MK2R or MK2R+ and the two devices are connected
using the iLINK port, the iLINK couple box specifies the keyer to which Station Master Deluxe coupled. When
SMD is coupled to a keyer, all important data such as frequency, mode, keying, locks and native control data
(Control Port) are transferred between Station Master Deluxe and the keyer to synchronize operations.
IMPORTANT: Don't forget to set SMD to the CAT mode by entering menu [m1] and selecting *** CAT *** !
IMPORTANT: When SMD is coupled, click Device | Store as default settings on both SMD and the keyer!
Otherwise coupling will not work in stand alone mode.
NOTE: If Station Master Deluxe is not physically connected to the iLINK port of a microHAM keyer or coupling is
unwanted even when the devices are physically connected, select none in the coupling box.
IMPORTANT: If coupling is enabled, the keyer expects an SMD on the iLink port even if SMD is not
connected to Router (or USB bus). When devices have to be decoupled, coupling MUST be set to
none, even if the SMD tab has a red cross!
