I have my SDS200 working great on the LAN. Static IP on the SDS and everything configured great. The goal is to be able to use this same PC remotely without having a PC tied to the SDS. I am very adept in networking and have assigned NAT rules to attempt to get ProScan to connect via the WAN side of my network. I am using business grade networking equipment and have my public IP on the WAN port of my router. This would not be a double-nat situation. Sniffing the network, i see ProScan communicating with the scanner on TCP 554. What is not making any sense to me is when I go to the URL connection screen within ProScan, it tells me the PC port is UDP and a randomized port in the 5xxxx range, and the scanner is UDP 50536 (this port is consistent)
I have tried creating NATs pointing to the scanners static IP for various ports and it will not connect. Here are the NATs I have tried:
WAN 554 to SCANNER IP 554
WAN 50000-59000 to SCANNER IP 50536
I do not see anywhere in ProScan to hard set port usage. It should be a simple matter to NAT ports over to enable remote access just like I am on my lan. I do not see any 224.x multicast IPs being used, so i have not created a tunnel. I would really prefer to do this without having to create a VPN tunnel.
What am I missing? The receiver has the ability to be controlled without having a PC attached locally, there should be a way to replicate this properly by NATing etc.
Thanks!
