CONTROLLING THE TS-590SG FROM A PC
If a PC and the TS-590SG are connected using a
serial cable {page 71}, you can remotely control the
functions of the TS-590SG from a PC. Download the
free ARCP-590G software from the following URL:

REMOTELY CONTROLLING THE TS-590SG ON
THE NETWORK
In addition to the ARCP-590G program, the ARHP-
590G program can also be downloaded from
the above site. This ARHP-590G program is an
ARCP-590G host program that allows a user who
is connected in the network to remotely control the
TS-590SG transceiver from a distant location. If you
make interface cables that transfer the audio between
the TS-590SG transceiver and the PC on the host
transceiver, you can receive signals and transmit
your voice over the network. For detailed information,
download the ARHP-590G program and consult the
accompanied documents.
Note: The ARHP-590G does not support voice communication.
In order to use voice communications, you must also use
universal VoIP software.
