Can someone advise what network ports the control protocol uses between the surface/laptop and the rack.
We are testing them between two buildings next week and there is a firewall between the networks so we will need to allow the traffic through on those ports.

Hi Toby.
Complicated question, and a complicated answer !
If you’re just using a firewall, but the two networks are on the same subnet, or the two networks are routable without NAT / PAT, then this should be possible.
What typically can’t currently be done is:
Private Network (Surface) | Public Internet | Private Network (Rack)
but
Private Network (Surface) | Private Network (Rack)
Should be OK providing the firewall between the two networks isn’t also translating IP addresses / port numbers from the public side into a private address range. Many ADSL Modems / Routers incoperate this functionality.
Port in use for the port forward should be:
TCP Port 51321
UDP Port 51320 through UDP Port 51324 inclusive.
We are looking to improve the current restrictions for internet connectivity for 1.50.
Hope this helps.

ok, thanks for the response. we will give it a try but I suspect there is NAT on at least one side. Will report back on how it goes but if it doesn’t work we will just put in a private link which is a pain but not the end of the world.
NAT support could be very useful in the long run.
