PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT! To remotely control radios using the
RS-BA1, BE SURE that you comply with your local
regulations.
The RS-BA1 is designed to remotely control radios
that have a USB port (Type B/Mini-B) or LAN port*.
Proper audio communication cannot be guaranteed
when you connect the Base station’s PC to the radio’s
ACC socket, MIC connector, or S/P DIF jack.
* Only when using:
 •IC-7851
 •IC-7850
 •IC-7800(rmwareversion3.00orlater)
 •IC-7700(rmwareversion2.00orlater)
Depending on your radio, a few functions or modes
cannot be used, or you will need to update the radio’s
rmwaretooperateaCWkeyer,usingtheRS-BA1.
Depending on the PC performance (OS, environment,
etc.), the USB audio may be interrupted, or a control
by the PC software may get delayed.
If the CPU has a heavy load, the USB audio is easily
interrupted.
The settings of the installed audio player application
may be changed after connecting a radio to the PC.
For the operation of your PC and peripheral devices,
follow the instructions provided in the manuals that
come with the PC and peripheral devices.
All copyrights associated with this manual and
all intellectual property rights associated with the

❍ The RS-BA1 consists of the Remote Utility, used to configure a remote control system, and the Remote Control-
ler, used to send CI-V commands to a radio to remotely operate it.
❍ With the RS-BA1, you can configure a remote control system through the Internet, or a LAN.
❍ The RS-BA1 provides highly qualified audio communication between your PC and an Icom amateur radio through
a USB port (Type B/Mini-B) or LAN port*.
• YoucanalsocontrolIcomradioswithanRS-232Cinterface.

About the remote control system
An RS-BA1 remote control system basically consists of following three components:
•Basestation(RadioandServer)
•Network(InternetorLAN)
•Remotestation(PC)
The Remote station controls the Base station radio through the network (internet or LAN).
To control the Base station radio, the radio should be connected to the network through a PC or directly.
MostIcomradiosneedaPC,andusethePCastheServertoexchangeCI-Vcommands,controlcommandand
audio with the Remote station through either the internet or LAN. (Fig. 1)
The radio has a built-in Network function that can be directly connected to the network. With this function, a Base
stationPCisnotnecessary.(Fig.2)
The radio is remotely controlled by the Remote station PC using the Remote Controller.

When configuring the remote control system through the Internet
IfyouconguretheremotecontrolsystemthroughtheInternet,RemotestationscanaccesstheServer using its
public IP address. If you utilize a Dynamic DNS service, Remote stations can access the Server by not only its
public IP address, but also by its domain name.
D To let Remote stations access the Server using its public IP address
A public IP address is an address that is accessible over the global Internet. If you use a dynamic public IP address,
it is chosen from a pool of available addresses and changes each time you connect to the Internet. Because of this,
Remote stations will have to match the IP address each time to access the Server.
If you use a dynamic public IP address, we recommend that you utilize the Dynamic DNS service to allow the Re-
mote stations to access the Server using its domain name, or use a static public IP address.
Pleaserefertoyourrouter’smanualfordetailsofhowtocongureyourroutertosetthepublicIPaddress.

public IP address. If you utilize a Dynamic DNS service, Remote stations can access the Server by not only its
public IP address, but also by its domain name.
D To let Remote stations access the Server using its public IP address
A public IP address is an address that is accessible over the global Internet. If you use a dynamic public IP address,
it is chosen from a pool of available addresses and changes each time you connect to the Internet. Because of this,
Remote stations will have to match the IP address each time to access the Server.
If you use a dynamic public IP address, we recommend that you utilize the Dynamic DNS service to allow the Re-
mote stations to access the Server using its domain name, or use a static public IP address.
