LAN IP 1

RSS can connect to the Internet through Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi. If only Ethernet or Wi-Fi is used, LAN IP 1 is the IP address for that connection. Use LAN IP 1 for the LAN IP if you are setting up port forwarding in your Internet router.

LAN IP 2

If RSS is connected to the Internet through an Ethernet connection and through Wi-Fi, the Ethernet connection is shown in LAN IP 1 and the Wi-Fi address is shown in LAN IP 2.

WAN IP

WAN IP is the public IP of your connection to the Internet. This is the IP you can use to connect to RSS when away from home. You must set up port forwarding in your router for RSS and Mumble to operate remotely.

RPi Temp

Shows the temperature of the CPU chip on the Raspberry Pi. The core temperature goes up as the Raspberry Pi gets more heavily loaded. The maximum operating temperature is rated for 80-deg C. If the temperature goes above 85-deg, the CPU is throttled. Normally you will see the temperature under 50-deg C.

Rigctl Port

The port used to control the radio for the current account. Use this port number if connecting to another application (such as Fldigi) and you want to have both RSS and the other application control the radio. You can also use this number to connect a second (or more) accounts to the current radio. Enter the port number in the Port field in Basic or Advanced Radio settings.

CCM Port

The port used to connect CommCat Mobile or CommCat to RSS to control the current radio.
