Ports: Control; Ports: Ilink - microHAM STATION MASTER Manual

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 is used with a microHAM keyer and the two devices are connected using the iLINK port.
The iLINK couple box specifies to which keyer is Station Master coupled.
Station Master can be coupled with microKEYER II, MK2R and MK2R+. When coupled, all important data such
as frequency, mode, keying, locks and native control data (Control Port) are transfered between Station Master
and the keyer to synchronize operations.
NOTE: If Station Master is not physically connected to a microHAM keyer over iLINK port or coupling is
unwanted even when the devices are physically connected, select none in the coupling box.
The CAT and 2 nd CAT ports operate differently depending on the type of microHAM interface being used.
When SM is used with microKEYER, DigiKEYER or CW Keyer, the transceiver radio control port must
