Unable to Connect Rig TCP - "non-connected socket" Error Msg

Unable to Connect Rig TCP

I am trying to setup VaraHF & VaraC on a Macbook running Parrallels and Windwos 11 for use with an Icom IC-7610.. After configuring the Rig Control Screen (see screen shot) I get the following error: "Unable to connect Rig TCPThe operation is not allowed on non-connected sockets" I prefer to use the LAN connection versus USB. I have downloaded and installed the latest RigCat files. I'm not sure what else to check. I am not tech savy. So, I'm sure I have not included important information. Please let me know what additional data you may need to point me in the right direcxtion. Thanks, much!

I was not planning on using RumLogNG in connection wtih VarAC. I would run VarAC as a stand alone program. I'm not sure the API you refer to is published by Icom but I'll see if I can find it. Thanks

Well since RumLog seems to have it there must be some info available to 7610 owners, see what you can find. I do use TCP/IP CAT exclusively on my Flex and Anan radios, I like this much more than having to use Virtual Com ports. They publish this info for developers.

Do you have the API for the Ethernet commands?? Are the commands the same as the CAT interface? I know Flex is and so is Anan but I can find no info on the 7610's Ethernet protocol.

I have updated the Host address to my IC7610 - 198.162.1.175. I still get the same "Unable to connect Rig TCPThe operation is not allowed on non-connected sockets" error message. What should I check next?

Show me the settings in WSJTX on the radio tab of how it is configured for this. I can not find any info on Icoms TCP/IP protocol. As I noted before other rigs that support TCP/IP CAT (K4, Flex, Anan) all provide the documents.

Gary,

Thanks for your efforts looking into this!

I've attached 5 screenshots to show how I use RumLogNG along with WSJTx and the IC-7610 via LAN.

1) RumLogNG IC-7610 settings

2) RumLog WSJTx settings

3) RumLog Audio panel (Send rig audio to WSJTx - i use BlackHole Software Audio Device)

4) WSJTx Radio Settings

5) WSJTx Audio Settings

RumLogNG keys the transceiver when requested by WSJTx.

I hope these files are useful in understanding my setup for using the LAN with the 7610.

Thanks again,

Ok, you threw me a curve ball here. It looks like this rumlog is serving up the CAT as a DXLabs Commander emulation. Sorry but dont do mac so rumlog is alien to me. And I am concerned that that adding 2 steps of middleware will increase latency. We have quantifiably measured this and it does have an adverse impact on PTT latency and we know that is detrimental to ARQ modes such as VARA.

Really, really need to see the API for the Icom Ethernet TCP interface.

or just connect the 7610 directly to VarAC via the USB cable.

It doesn;t make sense that you configured 127.0.0.1 as an IP. 127.0.0.1 is local host. not another IP in your network which supposed to be the IC-7610
