How to log from WSJT-X running on separate PC

Unread post by KB8CR »

I am new to RUMLogNG, and so far am loving it. I run mostly satellite mode recently, and RUMLog is the best I've seen for logging satellites.
I'm using a Mac and a Flex 6600 (With transverters) and all is working well locally on the Mac. Unfortunately, some of the programs I use are Windows only applications, so those run on a separate computer. With FlexRadio's CAT and DAX programs, that is no problem. But for WSJT-X, which is running on the Windows PC (with JTAlert, which logs to HRDLog on the PC), and for Greencube Terminal (for IO-117) running on the Windows PC, I am trying to send the logs to RUMLogNG via UDP.
(Greencube terminal works exactly like WSJT-X for logging contacts)

I have configured those two programs to send to an IP address of 192.168.1.255 and port 2337. The Mac is also in that segment. I put port 2337 in the data window for RUMLog, but it does not log . I also tried using 255.255.255.255, but that didn't work either. Is it possible to send the logged QSO from applications running on the PC to the MAC running RUMLOG? I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

HRDLog also has the ability to forward to N1MM......could I use that to send the info to RUMLog??

Thanks,

Monitor the Network window in RUMlog. It should show the WSJT-X instances running in the network.
Watch the status messages. It should show a message like Listening to WSJT-X on port xxxx.
Quit all other applications in the network listening to the same UDP port. Bad programming can cause the theft of UDP data.
