Remote Tech - control probe remotely?

[Callmedave]

Ive been playing with remote tech so im savvy with most of it, but i have a situation i cant solve:

I have two vessels in orbit of Duna. A hab and a lander. the lander is manned, the hab is not.

I want to land the hab remotely from the lander, i.e. a kerbal in the lander controls the hab on the way down, the reason for this is i have a 1 minute signal delay from Kerbin, so i cant land with that kind of delay.

I deactivated the habs connections to Kerbin and it is only connected to the Lander, (via a Comm 32, DTS M1 and a Comm88)  but it looses signal and is not controllable. 

Is this possible with remote tech or am i doing it wrong?

 

Many thanks!

RemoteTech calls this a command station, and makes setting them up pretty hard. I eventually found the requirements in the probe core section of the user guide. Apparently you need an RC-L01 remote guidance unit, and six(!) kerbals on the craft for it to act as a command station.

So it's possible, but definitely not with your current setup.

Ah ok, I can solve the problem by EVA'ing a Kerbal to the Hab module and controlling it manually to solve this.

At least i know it is doable, thank you.
