    Hi All

    Im a bit of a newby to the cbus world and installing a nac to an existing project, the 254 network is a backbone and then has multiple networks connected via bridges. Question is do i only need to load the 254 network file to the nac or do i need to load each individual network.

    Q2: I can access nac and toolkit whilst on same network but can not access remotely, i have clearly missed a setting but unsure what to change.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Can't answer the 1st part, but the 2nd part you will need to port forward requests in the sites router/firewall to the unit.

    I'm about to have a client hand me his unit on Weds for me to setup for him, so I should be able to report back on which ports if you can't find them in the manual.

    I quickly reskimmed the manual, at a glance it seems you probably only need port 80 and 22.

    It is bad practice to make these public so I would recommend obfuscating them to something odd eg 9080 and 9022 then on the router direct those request to the init on 80 and 22

    EG

    WAN xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9080 -> NAC 192.168.xxx.xxx:80
    WAN xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9022 -> NAC 192.168.xxx.xxx:22
