Installation guide A
Form2001
This guide explains the minimum required settings to configure a remote control system, taking the following illustration as
an example. In this example, a radio is connected to the Base station’s PC with the supplied USB cable, and a remote station
remotely controls the radio through the network.
• We recommend that you place the Remote station’s PC near to the Base station's PC and a radio, to check that the settings
are correct, and that you can correctly control the radio.
• You need to register the ID and password to the Base station to enable the Remote station to access the Base station and
the radio. BE CAREFUL in managing IDs and passwords.
• See the Instruction Manual, for detailed instructions on the RS-BA1.
You can also refer to each software’s help file, for assistance with the functions and settings.
While the software is open, push the [F1] key of the PC’s keyboard to open the help file.

Step1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Before connecting the radio to the PC, please finish the installation for the Base station's PC and the Remote sta-
tion's PC, using the RS-BA1 Preparations.
The Network function enables the radio to directly connect to the network. With this function, the base station PC is not nec-
essary. See the Installation guide B(For radios with the Network function).
Radios with the Network function (As of November 2016)
•IC-7851
•IC-7850
•IC-7800 (Firmware version 3.00 or later)
•IC-7700 (Firmware version 2.00 or later)
Check the connector type on your radio and see the following chart to connect your radio to the Base station’s PC.
To connect an Icom CI-V command capable radio to the Base station’s PC, you have to make connections for control com-
mand and audio communication.
RS-BA1 operation with the Base station’s PC connected to the radio’s ACC socket, MIC connector, or S/P DIF jack for audio
communication cannot be guaranteed.
• This guide explains the USB connection as example. See the RS-BA1 Instruction Manual (“2. WHEN CONNECTING TO THE
NETWORK THROUGH A PC” section) when connecting to the radio's [REMOTE] jack or [RS-232C] port.

Step1. Connect the radio to the Base station's PC (Continued)
■When connecting to the radio’s [USB] port
1. System requirements
• A PC that has a USB 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0 port
• Icom CI-V command capable radio that has a [USB] port
(Type B/Mini-B)
• The USB cable (supplied to the RS-BA1 or a radio)
2. Install a USB driver
CAUTION:
• NEVER connect the radio to the PC with the USB cable
until the USB driver installation has been completed.
• The driver is not supported by the Windows®automatic
recognition system.
To use the USB cable between the radio and the PC, you
must first install a USB driver.
• The USB driver comes with the RS-BA1. Or download from
the Icom website.
NOTE: When a PC with USB 3.0 port is used for operat-
ing the radio, confirm the driver name. If the name “Silicon
Laboratories CP210x USB to UART Bridge (Driver Re-
moval)” is displayed on the Control Panel screen, uninstall
it and then install the latest driver.
The latest driver and installation guide can be downloaded
from here:
http://www.icom.co.jp/world/index.html
Read the installation guide before installing the driver.
3. Connect the radio to the Base station’s PC
Connect the radio to the Base station’s PC using the USB

Step2. Radio’s presettings
The RS-BA1 remotely controls Icom radios using CI-V (Icom Communication Interface) commands. See the CI-V command table in the radio’s
instruction manual for details of the functions that can be controlled.
1. The following manual settings are required when operating the RS-BA1
Properly preset the items in below table for functions that cannot be controlled by CI-V commands or the item may cause unwanted actions.
See the radio’s instruction manual for details of the settings or operation.
NOTE:
• Remove the transverter from the radio, if it is connected.
• To prevent an accidental transmission, we recommend you remove any keyer, keypad or other external equipment connected to the radio.
• Set the radio to a normal operating mode. The radio cannot receive CI-V commands while in special modes, such as the firmware update
mode or cloning mode.
• If the radio has a Time-Out Timer function, we recommend you enable it to prevent the radio from continuously transmitting.

Step3. Before configuration
To configure the remote control system, the following settings are required.
DFirewall setting (RS-BA1 Instruction Manual p. 1)
To let the Remote Utility work properly, it must be added as an exception in the Firewall. See the RS-BA1 Instruction Manual
for details.
DVolume adjustment for your audio devices (RS-BA1 Instruction Manual p. 7)
Before you start communicating using the RS-BA1, the PC’s audio volume must be set to a proper level.
When your PC is used as a Base station, adjust the audio level of the device that is connected to your radio.
When your PC is used as a Remote station, adjust the audio level of the device that your microphone, speaker, or headset is
connected to.
DTo allow access from the Internet (RS-BA1 Instruction Manual p. 13)
If you configure the remote control system through the Internet, you need to configure your Base station and Remote station
routers to allow access from the Internet.
Configure the port forwarding settings, and IP filter settings on your router, for port numbers 50001, 50002, and 50003 which
are used for the Remote Utility.
See your router’s manual for details of how to configure the settings.

Configure the port forwarding settings and IP filter settings on your router for port numbers 50001, 50002, and 50003 which
are used for the Remote Utility.
See your router’s manual for details of how to configure the settings.
DVolume adjustment for your audio devices (RS-BA1 Instruction Manual p. 7)
Before you start communicating using the RS-BA1, the PC’s audio volume must be set to a proper level.
Adjust the audio level of the device that your microphone, speaker, or headset is connected to.
If you connect the microphone, speaker, or headset after setting the audio level, confirm the level has not changed.
See the RS-BA1 Instruction Manual (“1. BEFORE USING REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM” section) for details.
