Port forwarding/mapping setting for Wiser

Apple Airport Port forwarding/mapping settings for Wiser

Hi

I use an apple time capsule as my primary router. Regarding the airport utility settings for this:

What sort of port mapping service do you need to set on your router to view Wiser remotely:

Personal Web sharing?
Personal File sharing?
Windows sharing?
Remote login SSH?
FTP access?

For TCP port forwarding:

I've read the manual, so I am aware of the specific individual ports for the wiser? But I'd like the actual IPv6 port settings for my timecapsule

Thanks

 

My setup

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out later.

However first I'm not sure I'm set up correctly. Would you mind checking my setup....

As in Option B as per the manual

The timecapsule router is the primary gateway 192.168.0.1

The Wiser LAN IP address is fixed(static). DHCP is disabled. IP: 192.168.0.66
The Wiser CNI IP is fixed: IP 192.168.0.67:10001

I can browse on into the Wiser LAN GUI no problems and then onto the router config area.

When I browse onto 192.168.0.67 I get

CNI2
Description: CNI Mk 2
Project: BAKER1
Part name: WISERCNI
C-Bus status: Client connected from 192.168.0.66
since 13 minutes ago
Network voltage: 29.8V, measured 13 minutes ago
IP Address: 192.168.0.67
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.66
TCP Port: 10001
Unit Address: 3
MAC Address: 00:17D:01:00:3F
Serial Number: 001005323527
C-Bus Firmware: 5.3.00
Ethernet Firmware: 1.0.0
Hardware variant: Inline

When I browse onto 192.168.0.67:10001 I get

*** Connection already in use

When I browse onto 192.168.0.66:10001 nothing happens

My installer insisted on using a crossover Cat5 cable between the Wiser LAN and my network switch. Could this be the problem?? Should I just use an normal Cat5 cable here?

 

What happens if you browse to 192.168.0.66 ?

If you can get to 192.168.0.67 okay then your network connection is okay.

 

When I go onto 192.168.0.66 I can see the Wiser GUI. It controlls my cbus switches just fine.. and I can also then enter the Wiser Router pages through config menu just fine.....

 

Is there an engineer with apple networking experience out there?

Could anyone give a few clues please.?? I think it might be a firewall issue.

I don't want to drop my firewall completely (ie I have ticked the block incoming APv6 connections box)...cause I'm reluctant to do this with so many other computers on my network, but I just can't seem to get the IPv6 Firewall "exceptions" setting working for the wiser (yes I've set allow all services and ports for this device and checked it's IP address)

I'm getting know where. I'd pay for someone in Melb area to come in and set up my port forwrding/firewall airport settings....Help!!

 

Yes

I have, but I have a rather large home network.

Some 30 something allocated IP addressed devices, wired and wireless . 8 sonos zones, 3 beyonwizes, 5 macs, 3-5 P.C's.(depending how many kids laptops are being used), a couple of iphones, 2x NAS's, a networked printer, IP cameras, all in a days work for a modern family!

This became a nightmare to administer within a windows enviroment. It was just plain unreliable. Also my previous router (a netgear) ended up being proven incompatible with sonos. I had to chuck it out including all the switch gear.

You see, manufacturers of networking gear (And I include CIS now in this), rely on "field testing" by customers like me, before faults and glitches are eventually ironed out.

I don't want to go through this again. My Apple network has been a revelation. It's just that good. It is THE reason why it all now works.

CIS has to understand that people who also buy the WISER are highly likely to also have networks like this which have countless 100's of hours of past setup and testing. They will be reluctant like me to chose anything but option B.......

 

That's a pretty cool collection of devices you've got there. Apple gear is pretty impressive from an ease of use perspective. Tough act to follow. I agree that everyone else's IP devices have a long way to go before they achieve ease of use. Especially, routers and switches and gateways. Lots of having to do odd things like configure port forwarding and such. Ok, anyway, it sounds like you're almost there as you mentioned your Wiser LAN access is working. So, I suspect that to solve the issue you described, you'll need to figure out if port forwarding on your 3rd party router is configured correctly. Once you've done that, everything should start working. I'd recommend checking on the 8080->80 port forward.

 

I'm nearly there...

Thanks! Mr K

You gave me a big clue...

I have moved an IP camera I had on port 80 off onto another port.

I'm now seeing the wiser , though it wont load properly because it fails a socket authentication....any clues what I have to do here. I assume this is a firewall issue....

 

Ok, if I understand you correctly, you're seeing the web UI right? If you are seeing the web UI show something like "Authenticating socket" and then immediately or shortly thereafter switch to "Unable to connect to Wiser" then I would suspect that the 3rd party router is not port forwarding port 8888 or there is also the possiblity that the external network that you are on blocks port outgoing port 8888 (happens in some corporate VPNs). The full list of ports that you'll want to forward is:
8888,8889,8336,8337,10001 . In my case the 10001 because that's the port I use for the CNI (ie: remote toolkit). It might be another port on your setup. 8888 for the Wiser socket. 8889 for email. 8336 and 8337 are for remote project update.

 

Cool!!!

Spot on! Hey thanks..I'm on remotely!

I'll post the airport utility setting for Mac timecapusule and airport extreme router on a separate thread.

Thanks to everyone for their help!

 

All of the port-forwarding information is in the installation manual!!!!

Please take the time to read the manual before posting.

 

Ahhh the good old "RTFM" ......

 

Thanks.

...if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.....

Actually the trouble I was having was not with the manual (sure all the "ports"are listed)..but more how to apply this port forwarding in the apple airport utility that controls my timecapsule router, and get the specific OSX firewall settings correct..(not to mention running and viewing other IP cameras, on the same router)...

But I appreciated everyones help...

 

Wappinghigh, I'm interested in your settings. Have you posted these yet? I could not find them. Thanks.
