New:

Client/Server Architecture for Remote Operations over Local or Wide Area Networks

Please read carefully the file Client-Server Perseus Software Reference – EN02.pdf provided with this distribution for a detailed description of the new network features of the Perseus client and server software.

Improvements:

• Decimation filters alias image rejection has been raised to 150 db.
• A second userlist button has been added under the memories window. The default filenames for the user’s memory list are now “userlist1.txt” and “userlist2.txt”. Please rename any userlist.txt file you may have created with userlist1.txt.
• CW and RTTY LSB modes have been added; this feature can be toggled clicking a second time on the desired demodulation mode button. A line over the CW and RTTY mode button will appear when the selected mode is in the reverse (LSB) demodulation mode.
Fixed Bugs
For a list of addressed bugs, please refer to the Bugs/Reports Database hosted online on the Perseus_SDR Yahoo group ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/perseus_SDR/ ).

Notes:

NOTE (*) The minimum required upload bandwidth on the server side is 80 kbps. Three profiles were defined to simplify server setup (GPRS, ADSL, LAN).  Operation behind a router is possible after setting up the correct port forwarding rules.

For more information about the new client-server architecture and setup, please refer to the Client-Server Reference PDF file included in the 4.0b zipped file.
