Wi-Fi Support Update Released

[dispatcher812]

I'm using "Goodplayer" on my Kindle Fire and it works (so far, about 5 minutes).

I tried that with no luck. I could never get it to connect in either mode.

Ran all afternoon, all over the office. Stream address is rtsp://172.20.29.146/au:scanner.au (you'd replace the IP with your own).

Is this from internal or external? If external what port did you forward? I tried seeing if I could connect using my external IP with no luck. Some users have had success.

172.20.29.146 is a private/internal IP address.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents. Thanks Upman on the updates. Also, I have been able to get my stream over the internet. If you are computer/network savvy, it can be done. I have set up a VPN on my router with a DDNS. I set the VPN on my iPhone and it works great. Still look forward to the Siren App which should make everyone happy. This way works ok for now, but it does have glitches.

Internal. No way for me to modify our business firewall.

WiFi dongle lock-up

From 2015-02-22:

Did the dual firmware update about a week ago. I have never installed/run the audio streaming program, but I have run the RH-536 program briefly a couple times a few days ago, and it worked fine at that time.

Yesterday, while not connected to the RH-536 program, after a while my 536 screen did not show the WiFi icon. The dongle's light was on. Checking it through the 536 menu showed "WiFi busy". Waited about an hour, no change. Unplugged and replugged the WiFi module: It came back to life, and I was able to connect via the RH-536 test program.

Waiting to see if it happens again.

Happened again today. Identical symptoms and cure.

I have completed the updates. My wifi dongle sees the networks. However I have a couple of issues. It won't let me add a pw to my private network. It shows Input Password, a cursor then below is 4 < cursor >6....I can't figure out how to enter the pw.

I can get into the open infinitywifi but VLC can't open the stream.

Not sure what I have done wrong. I am a Mac man running XP sp2 in the Parallels boot on my computer.

Any help would be appreciated.

no network streaming for wifi

I have successfully (i think) updated the wifi dongle and Sentinel. Radio boots up with wifi dongle. My issues:

1) I see all the networks. Can't enter PW on my private network. The screen shows Input Password, blank screen for 3 lines with the cursor and then "4 < cursor > 6". I am unable to put anything into the screen.

2) so I go to the open Infinitywifi (no pw) and it connects. Wont connect to VLC in either my Mac or Windows side. Proper IP inserted.

Any help is appreciated.

1) Rotate the Func button to select each letter\number of your password. Press 4 or 6 on the scanner to move the cursor left or right. Press the E key once you finished.

Thank you very much. Streaming now.

Sorry about duplicate postings.

[copdmv]

Thanks. Got all to work with the PW and private network. Sorry about the double posting.

WiFi dongle lock-up #3

Did the dual firmware update about 2015-2-15. Dongle firmware is v7.28.

The 536 is on 24/7. The following is recurring (see log below) while just doing normal scanning:

• The 536 screen stops showing the WiFi icon.
• The dongle's light is on.
• Checking it through the 536 menu shows "WiFi busy".
• Wait about an hour, no change.
• Unplug and replug the WiFi module:
• The dongle comes back to life.

IP address changed

I have been using VLC for remote audio since the WiFi firmware was released with no problem, until one day VLC would not connect anymore. I found that the IP address in the scanner had changed the last digit from 9 to 8. After correcting the IP address in VLC, all is good again. My question would be--- Why did the IP address change in the 536?

 

[troymail]

Typically, the IP addresses are assigned by your router using something called DHCP. Under this protocol, the addresses are not guaranteed to remain the same. My IP address changed following a power failure. However, there are other reasons why the IP address changes....

I suspect a future update will allow users to assign an IP address (maybe)....but it seems this will really be necessary if we want to be able to communicate with the scanner over the Internet....

It's because your router hands out addresses via dhcp. If you want it to not change then set a static in your router for it.

You can set statics in most home routers just log into it find the current address MAC address and set it static


And I am using over the Internet using vpn

 

[kwd57]

Thanks all for your answers. I will set a static IP address in the router.
