BCD536HP - Remote Control over Internet?

[ProScan]

Where is a manual or book on this? I am at the port forwarding Http, FTP, IP phone,??

The manual is in the same folder as ProScan. Just click the menu Support -> Manual and search for "Get the Web Server to work remotely".

The port forwarding config needs just 3 things. 1) Enter in TCP, 2) Enter in same port number as the server, 3) Enter in the computer IP address or name where the server resides.

Clicking play on the audio wont play?

**EDIT: Got it using local IP address. Thanks for the Help Pro Scan

So the audio is good? Very good.

If no good then advise on the following:
Do you have the Web Server audio setup? If good, the audio meter should move.
Does the player Play arrow symbol changes to the Pause symbol?
Do you have the computer speaker volume turned up?

How do I put in out to access it from outside local Ip?

Make sure the computer running ProScan has a reserved or fixed IP address just like you did for the scanner.

Start ProScan, and start the server in the "Remote Scanner over IP" tab.

In your router, enable port forwarding, and make sure that traffic on port 5000 is forwarded to the IP address of the machine running ProScan. Make a note of your router's WAN IP address.

Use the WAN IP address and port 5000 to monitor and control your scanner outside the house.

You have to setup Port Forwarding in you internet router.

The default is 5000, not 5050, but if that is how ProScan is configured, the router settings need to match. The IP address at the bottom needs to be the IP address of the machine running ProScan.

 

[flubber2007]

So I put the ip address 10.0.0.11 that is on the computer on the internal ip address on the image. I changed the ports to 5000. Nothing seems to be working. I can access it still within my router locally but can't do anything outside of network.

 

[ProScan]

See if this tool helps Open Port Check Tool
Start the server first. If you can not be seen then troubleshoot that.

After you changed the server port to 5000, Did you update the Router Port Forwarding?

 

[flubber2007]

Shows cannot see service on external IP address

 

[ProScan]

It looks good except the following. I don't know if it will make a difference.

1. I would change the stream name to just "stream"
2. The Router Service Type change from TCP/UDP to just TCP

 

[flubber2007]

Changed those items, restarted computer and everything. Still showing nothing on open port tool. I am not sure what else to do.

 

[ProScan]

Do you have 2 routers by any chance?

I have one hooked up and another it a box yea.

I meant wired up and on-line. So just one. I have no ideal why it's not being seen from the outside.

 

[ProScan]

One other thing. Check if running any Internet Security program is not blocking the connection.

 

[ProScan]

Another thing I see is the stream name you had was named 10.0.0.10 and the Router Port Forwarding is using 10.0.0.11. Can you verify the machine running the ProScan server is using 10.0.0.11

I wrote a response some time ago explaining the protocol utilized by the 536 dongle for remote control and audio. I don’t current have access to that as I’m on my iPad at a remote location myself.

However, in general, the 536 uses a port for control via a very simple ASCII set on commands. Using a network capture program like WireShark it is very simple to capture and identify that. Also easy to port forward that from your external IP address.

The audio is much more difficult which uses industry standard RTTP or Real Time Transport Protocol. The problem with port forwarding this is that the RTP Control frame at startup negotiates several random data ports between the server and client. These are not a static assignment but rather dynamic depending on what is available inside your network.

I have not captured how ProScan server/client is doing this so don’t know if it is similar.

Also in terms of the problem being discussed in this thread, the 10.0.x.x address is the Wide Area address assigned to the router by your ISP. This address will be different for every person’s router. So I’m not sure you are using the correct external IP.

Internally, the port forwarding must be routed to your local 536 network address which will be something similar to 192.168.x.x.

Not reading this thread fully, I’m not sure you guys are using the correct IP addresses.

IP address 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 is for local networks or private intranets so shouldn't be a problem.

Also Port Forwarding is not a problem with ProScan despite using the BCD536HP Wi-Fi. I've seen only one other port forwarding problem with ProScan and in that instance, the user was configuring the wrong router.

{edit} Sorry, Don't really want to correct but it's needed in public forums so others will have better info. Wi-Fi audio doesn't use RTTP. It uses RTSP / RTP G.711 MU Law
