1. Relevant Models This operations guide is for the TS-990S. Using the TS-990S and the KENWOOD NETWOR K COMMAND SYSTEM (hereinafter

called "KNS") enables transceiver operations by remote control using a home LAN or the internet.

KNS is a system configured using PCs, network enviro nm ents, ARCP-990 (a Radio Control Program; hereinafter called "ARCP-990”), ARHP-990 (a Radio Host Program; hereinafter called “ARHP-990”), and ARVP-10 (a VoIP Program; hereinafter called “VoIP Program”) for remote control of the TS-990S.

Note: If the firmware version of the TS-990S is V1.00, please update it to V1.01 or later.

Important

 To configure the sys tem, knowledge not only of transceivers but also of PCs and

networks is required. JVC KENWOOD does not offer support for customer PCs and Networks. Furthermore, for operations relating to actual transmitting, note that procedures according to the Radio Act are also required.

 Operations via networks may be delayed due to unavoidable principles.

Consequently, do not perform operations (such as contests or pile-ups requiring quick responses) for which delays are likely t o be a problem.

 Even if you set by the procedures described in this document, the feature may

not work properly because of the combination of PC, the network environment and the sound device.

 Refer to “5. Limitations Caution!  JVC KENWOOD Corporation shall bear no respons ibility for related damage such

as damage caused by missed communications and dial og opportunities due to incorrect customer settings, nonconform ances, or misoperations as a result of using this document or the ARCP-990, ARHP-990 or ARVP-10 software.

Fig. Example of a home LAN configuration

(In this diagram, the modem, router, and hub have been omitted.)

As shown in the diagram, the configuration uses a host station (where the transceiver is installed; this is called the "transmitter" in the Radio Act) and a remote station (which performs the remote operations; this is call ed the "operator" in the Radio Act). A PC is connected to both, and the PCs are connected to each other via the network.

The transceiver connected to the PC to which the ARHP-990 has been installed on the host station is operated using the ARCP-990, which has been installed on the remote station PC. Furthermore, transmitted and received audio for the transceiver on the host station can be transmitted and received using the VoIP Program to and from the microphone and speaker connected to the PC sound devi ce on the remote station.

The host station and remote station can be installed in any location with a home LAN connection or internet connection.

Audio

The audio cable is created by the user.

The host station is configured using a transceiver and a PC connected to the network. Data signals that control the transceiver are connected to the PC using either LAN, USB or RS-232C. The PC uses its sound function to input and output audio transmi tted and received by the transceiver, and converts them between digital and analog signals.

The ARHP-990 is installed on the PC. In the case of use via the internet, VoIP Program is installed on the PC. The ARHP-990 exchanges transceiver control data signals with the network. The VoIP Program exchanges audio transmissions with the network.

The PC is connected to the network, and exchanges transceiver control data signals and audio transmissions with the "Remote station (operator)" on the network.

or RS-232C

performed by connecting the transceiver and PC us i ng either a USB cable or RS-232C cable. (The transceiver has only one RS-232C connector, so if you are using the RS-232C connector for KNS operations, another device cannot be connected.) There is also a way to connect both the transceiver and PC to the home LAN. Since the transceiver control communication is high-speed, this method is recommended.

To exchange audio transmissions, connect the transceiver ACC2 connector to the PC sound I/O terminal. For the transceiver connector specifications, refer to the TS-990S instruction manual, and for the cable creation and connection methods, refer to "

Support for selecting, installing, and operating VoIP software is not available from JVC KENWOOD Corporation.

Note 2: Refer to the user manual for the broad band router to be used before performi ng

the settings.

Note 3: KNS operations are possible even if the global IP address is variable, but the IP

address may change with uncertain timing. In such cases , it i s neces sary to check and change the IP address of the connected host when connected from a remote station, which reduces user-friendliness. Consequently, using an environment in which the host station global IP address is fixed, is recommended. Furthermore, if the global IP address cannot be fixed, using a dynamic DNS service enables operations in the same way as an environment with a fixed global IP address.

・ A high-speed wired broadband environment using

xDSL, FTTH, or CATV network is required. (1Mbps min. recommended.)

・ A global IP address is required. (See Note 3.) ・ The ability to use prot ocols and ports to transmit the

data signals that control the transceiver and audio is required.

The remote station is configured using a PC connected to the network , and a microphone and speaker connected to the PC sound function. The audio transmissions for the host station transceiver are input and output using the microphone and speaker connected to the sound function of the remote station PC via the network.

The ARCP-990 is installed on the PC. In the case of use via the internet, VoIP Program is installed on the PC. The host station transceiver connected via the network is cont rol led by the remote station ARCP-990 operations.
