5. Limitations Caution!

Check that the ARCP-590 and ARHP-590 operations use Windows XP SP3 or later,

Windows Vista SP1 or later, or Windows 7. Earlier versions, and other operating systems,

cannot be used. Use the operating systems described above for both the host and remote

stations.

For KNS operations, it is necessary to set and change the open broadband router port,

OS firewall functions, and comprehensive security software. Furthermore, it is the

customer's responsibility to handle security when using this system. If you do not have

confidence in the settings, we recommended you stop using the system.

During KNS operations via the internet, it is necessary to set the global IP address on the

host station. For your global IP address, consult your contracted provider.

Only registered people can access the host station using their ID and password. Make

sure that the ID and password settings cannot be guessed easily by unauthorized people.

On this system, signals are exchanged via the network. Consequently, smooth operations

may be disabled compared to normal transceiver operations as delays (during

analog/digital conversions) and data loss (which is greatly dependant on traffic) are

unavoidable. This is the principle operation of the system.

Examples are cited below.

Audio may be cut off, meter deflection may not be smooth, standby time may be delayed

(in particular, it is not suitable for contests or quick operations such as pile-ups). VFO

variability may not be smooth, audio may differ from the actual transceiver audio, and

digital mode communications such as image communications with SSTV and AFSK,

PSK-31, etc., may be disabled, etc.

Broadband is recommended for the internet line used. As a benchmark, use a minimum of

1 Mbps. The speed of analog modems that use telephone lines will greatly reduce sound

quality, and may destabilize control, and so cannot be used.
