• Communication components for the network:
  Remote basic utility (basic software for both stations, interconnection of the audio ports and COM port between PC on the radio side and remote PC via IP).
  Virtual COM Port Driver (for PC operator side, conversion of data retransmitted via IP to an emulated COM port).
  Virtual audio port driver (for operator-side PC, retransmitted data conversion to the emulated audio input/output ports).
• Remote control software (for operator side PC)
• USB Driver for IC-7200/7600 (for operator side PC)1

• Operation is guaranteed only for radios with a USB port:
  IC-7100/7200/7410/7600/9100.

2- The latency values shown below do not include those due to the network.
3- Driver compatibility with the 64-bit version it is still being finalized
(Windows 7-64bit only accepts drivers verified with digital signature)
4- The details of the necessary IP characteristics are yet to be determined. - A basic understanding of IP networks/setting of router is essential for setting up the RS-BA1 and for use of a normal IP network.
5- These values do not include latency times of the network.
