EXTERNAL IP CONTROL UNIT (STATIC IP
ADDRESS REQUIRED)
Remote control your AR2300/AR5001D receiver!
The ARL2300 Ethernet Controller is an option for the AR2300 and
AR5001D communication receivers, which allows remote control and remote
listening through the
network. It can be used for various professional or law enforcement related
applications which demand interception of radio communications or radio wave
monitoring from a
remote location.
The ARL2300 is an external IP control unit for AR2300 and AR5001D.
The ARL2300
comes with the IP configuration setting software and
the control program for remote side through high speed internet.
The client software is based on the Java 2 platform and requires
version 1.6 (Java SE 6 runtime) or higher to be installed on the PC on which it
is running.
The settings of ARL2300 can be easily changed through the local
network (DHCP mode) by using a browser, based on Apple’s “Zero configuration”
software Bonjour.
Connection to the
receiver
Simply connect the control, audio and LAN cables. ARL2300 is
receiving power directly from the receiver through the control cable,
it does
therefore not need to be powered by an AC adapter.
Client software
The supplied control software does allow remote control of the
receiver connected to ARL2300. Our software is non-intrusive as it needs no
executable installation and
therefore can be easily copied / removed to and from the PC. Once the router and
the ARL2300 are properly configured on the receiver (server) side, the client
software does
communicate in real time with the receiver. No particular LAN settings are
necessary on the client side.
Selectable audio bit rate allows adjustment to your network
speed (LAN, 3G, Wifi, etc…).
Functions supported by the client software:
Five selectable
VFOs.
Step size
Reception mode
Ten selectable
IF bandwidths
Attenuator
Antenna
selection
Spectrum
display (800kHz-10MHz)
Live listening
& recorded audio playback
(More functions will be supported in the future!)
Computer requirements:
To use the client software in the best conditions, we advise
these minimum specifications:
PC:
CPU: Celeron M, 1GHz
RAM: 512MB
HDD: 1.5GB free space
OS: Windows XP (SP.3)
MAC:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: 512MB
HDD: 1.5GB free space
OS: OSX 10.5
A client software for Android tablet is under development.
Network configuration with a NAT router PORT FORWARDING towards the IP
address of ARL2300 must be setup in your router.
As dynamically addressed IP addresses so often change by nature, it is necessary
to have a GLOBAL IP address
assigned to the external port of your router
Routed network configuration (no NAT) As in an intranet where there is
no network address translation,
the client software is connecting directly to the IP address of ARL2300.
