About the remote control system
An RS-BA1 remote control system basically consists of a Base station (a transceiver and a Server PC) and a Remote station (Remote PC) through a network.
With the RS-BA1, you can configure the remote control system through a LAN or the Internet.
To remotely control the transceiver, it should be connected to a network through a PC, or directly.

LLIf you use a transceiver with the Server function, a Server PC is not necessary.
The Transceivers with the Server function
• IC-7851 • IC-7850 • IC-7800 (Firmware version 3.00 or later)
• IC-7700 (Firmware version 2.00 or later) • IC-7610 • IC-9700
Precautions
IMPORTANT! To remotely control transceivers using the RS-BA1, BE SURE that you comply with any local regulations. The RS-BA1 is designed to remotely control transceivers that have a LAN* or USB port (Type B/Mini-B).
*Only when using a transceiver with the Server function.
Proper audio communication cannot be guaranteed if you connect the Server PC to the transceiver’s ACC socket, MIC connector, or S/PDIF jack.
Depending on your transceiver, a few functions or modes cannot be used, or you will need to update the transceiver’s firmware to operate a CW keyer, using the RS-BA1 application.
TIP: To read the Instruction Manual (PDF file)
The RS-BA1 Instruction Manual (PDF file) provides detailed instructions on how to configure your own remote control system. After installing the RS-BA1, a short cut will be automatically made in the program group “RS-BA1 Ver2,” to open the Instruction Manual.
You can simply open the file in the program menu. (Windows 10: <Start> RS-BA1 Ver2 Instruction Manual)
(Windows 8.1: The Search charm on the right of the screen Apps RS-BA1 Ver2 Instruction Manual) (Windows 7: <Start> All Programs RS-BA1 Ver2 Instruction Manual)
