We need to start over. First this problem has nothing to do with the Router Port Forwarding. If you changed anything in the Router config., change it back. The Router Port Forwarding comes into play later when you want the RSOIP or Web Server to be seen from the outside.

Can you verify your symptoms are the same when you first reported which are:
1. ProScan does communicate with the LAN data indicated by the virtual display showing the scanner display. YES or NO?
2. ProScan does not communicate with the LAN audio indicated by the TCP Not Connected and UDP Not Connected messages. . YES or NO?

To troubleshooting #2 above, Do the following, one step at a time in order..

1. Insure no other apps such as VLC are connected to the SDS200 LAN audio. Retest the audio.
2. For a test, disable and Internet Security program or add an exemption for ProScan. Retest the audio.
3. Reboot the router. Retest the audio.
4. Reboot the computer. Retest the audio.
5. Power cycle the scanner. Retest the audio.

6a. In the scanner menu, go to the Settings -> LAN Settings -> Set IP Assignment then change the Auto or Manual to Disable.
6b. Exit the menu and let the scanner restart.
6c. Go into the menu Set IP Assignment again and change it back to what it was before. Either Auto or Manual.
6d. Exit the menu and let the scanner restart.
6e. Retest the audio.

Please provide feedback if it works or doesn't work.

I am glad that someone else concurs that this has nothing to do with port forwarding, bridging, or anything like that because I am only trying to get Proscan to connect to another IP address on the same network behind the router's firewall.

In answer to your questions:

1. ProScan does communicate with the LAN data indicated by the virtual display showing the scanner display. YES
2. ProScan does not communicate with the LAN audio indicated by the TCP Not Connected and UDP Not Connected messages. . YES

I have done all of your troubleshooting steps in order as instructed and I am still at this point

Finally got it working!! The solution? Updated the SDS200 firmware and it began working . Audio is the clearest it has ever been with Proscan doing the feed.

Has anyone connected the sds200 lan direct to a windows 10 computer as a few commented at the beginning of this trend? I would like to hock mine up this way..why because I have a Verizon hotspot with no lan ports. I want to send a feed out that way with proscan. And yes I know about getting wifi repeaters with bridging but want to hook it direct for it's in my car. Want to know how to bridge it direct scanner to computer.

You could probably connect directly between computer/scanner with a crossover cable and hard-coding in your IP addresses since you wouldn't have a DHCP server doing that for you (i.e. a router). I have not tried this. Wouldn't it be easier to connect the two with the micro USB cable in serial mode?

I would really have to understand how this was all put together, but in general, it sounds like your laptop is connected to the internet (via Verizon) through your wifi adapter, which will have a DHCP assigned address. You can leave all that alone. It's working for you.

On the other hand, you would connect your scanner through your LAN port on your laptop, which is completely separate adapter. That adapter you would need it's own address of your choosing, let's say 192.168.1.10, which would only have to correlate with the address you assign to your scanner, say 192.168.1.11. The subnet can be 255.255.255.0 and the DNS and/or gateway can be blank--for both.

At this point you have two adapters, one providing internet access, the other providing a direct connection to your scanner.

Fixed - Find Duplicates was missing Trunk UIDs.
Added - SDS200 Favorites FTP Scanner Read & FTP Scanner Write.
Added - Send MSM (Mass Storage Mode) Command To Scanner button on the Scanner Read & Scanner Write dialog window.

Excellent, thanks. ProScan is "must-have" software for SDS200 owners in my view. Without it I don't think one is getting the most out of their investment. I've got four seats on my license now and it may be growing again soon as I continue to play.

Quick question for all the experts here. I have my SDS200 working via RSOIP. However, my scanner resumes scanning every 10 seconds even if there is still traffic on the frequency. This is only occurring while connected to Proscan. I'm sure this is a setting I'm overlooking. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance folks.

Turn off the Resume Scan/Search control. It's located in the upper right corner of program. May have to click the small box to toggle the view.

Hi everyone - another new SDS200 user. I'm so happy ... can finally hear my city's system that I haven't been able to hear forever now! I have the scanner connected to the LAN. I'd like to listen to the scanner using a computer in another building. Would ProScan be the best way to accomplish this? Don't need it to open up the WAN ... just listening in another building. Thanks everyone.
