One of the great features of the Icom IC-705 is the ability to operate over
wifi, this means we can have a 100% wireless connection from the computer
using clients for Windows or Linux.




This is part one of a series of posts on setting up the connection, in this
part I will list the settings for the IC-705 to allow the connection. Part
Two will be setup on a Windows PC running the Icom remote utility and part
3 will be setup for a raspberry pi (or other Linux machine) running the
open source project Kappanhang.




So lets set up the IC-705 ready to accept connections over a Wireless LAN.



Open the settings menu








2. Scroll down to WLAN Set and touch to enter the menu








3. Touch WLAN to turn it on (if not on already)








4. Leave connection type set to Station (Connect to Network) if you will be
connecting to a WiFi network (this can be at home, or using your phones
ad-hoc WiFi network)








5. Touch Connection Settings (Station)








6. Touch Access Point and wait a second or so while the IC-705 searches for
WiFi networks








7. Touch the Network you want to connect to and enter the password and
touch connect.




8. Return to the WLAN Set menu. Scroll down and select Remote Settings








9. Touch Network Control and set it to ON








10 Scroll Down and set a Network User (Network User 1 or 2)








11 Enter a username and password. Remember these as you will need them to
connect the Icom Remote software.








12. Navigate back to the root menu and select connectors follwed by MOD
Input








13 In the MOD Input Menu sel;ect WLAN for both DATA OFF MOD and DATA MOD.








14 Finally power off your IC-705 and power on again to make sure the
settings are applied.




Your IC-705 should now connect to your WiFi network and be ready to connect
to your Icom Remote software running on your windows computer.













You can apply many of these settings using the new Preset function in the
main menu of the IC-705 so you can easily switch between WLAN and
standalone operation. I will cover this in another post.

















I hope this is of help
