K4 does not support Ethernet "Wake on LAN" like the KPA1500.) The
only way to power up a remote K4 is by pulsing pin 8 of the K4's ACC
connector to ground for at least 200 ms, e.g. using a relay or open-drain
or open-source transistor. The pin must be released after a few seconds.
There are several different solutions available that will work with or
without a PC at the server location. For details, see document "Remote
K4 On/Off Control Methods" on our K4 manuals web page.
MACRO PROGRAMMING
The K4 has a number of controls that can be customized to perform
special functions. This is accomplished using a string of K4 remote-control
commands, also known as a macro. The controls that can have macro
assignments include [PF1-PF4], <Fn> <F1-F8>, [REM ANT], and all 16
switch functions of the K-Pod external controller (8 tap, 8 hold).
To use this capability, follow these steps:
• To access the macro editor, tap <Fn>, then hold <MACROS>.
• Use VFO A to highlight the desired programmable control (PF1-PF4, F1-F8,
etc.). Note: If any of PF1-PF4 have already been assigned to menu
functions, this will be shown in the macro field as "Menu:
menu_entry_name." These assignments can be overwritten with manually
entered commands if desired.
• Tap the label field (next to the control's name) to create a label. This will
bring up the built-in keyboard. In the case of programmable functions <F1-
F8>, the label will appear on the button once programmed. Otherwise the
label simply serves as a reminder of the custom function the macro
performs. Note that K-Pod switch macros may be pre-programmed with
example functions. You can change these as desired.
• Tap the macro command field (to the right of the label field). This again
will bring up the built-in keyboard.
