OVERVIEW OF THE RS-BA1

� The RS-BA1 consists of the Remote Utility, used to configure a remote control system, and the Remote Controller, used to send the CI-V commands to a Base station, to remotely operate it.
� With the RS-BA1, you can configure a remote control system through a LAN or the Internet.

About the Remote Control system

The RS-BA1 Remote Control system basically consists of the following 3 components:

1 Base station:

Transceiver, or Transceiver and Server PC*

2 Network (LAN or Internet)

3 Remote station:

PC (Remote PC)

* If you use a transceiver that does not have the Server function, you have to connect a PC to the transceiver.

About a public IP address and the Dynamic DNS service
If you configure the remote control system through the Internet, PCs can connect to the transceiver using its public IP address or domain name.
D To let PCs connect to the Base station using its public IP address
A public IP address is an address that is accessible over the global Internet. Check the router's manual about how to configure your router to set the public IP address.
NOTE: � If you have a dynamic public IP address, we recommend that you use the Dynamic DNS service to enable the
PCs to connect to the transceiver. � If the PC connected to the transceiver is not using the Dynamic DNS service, you need to change setting of
PC's Remote Utility to connect to the transceiver each time its public IP address changes.
