Very importantly, you must be able to set-up port forwarding on your own router! Make sure you have access to your router manual before going ahead in setting up ARL2300. As there are hundreds of different router models on the market, with almost as many different ways to configure them, AOR is unable to assist you in troubleshooting port forwarding and network security issues. -

The command should be terminated by <CR> or <CR><LF>. All responses from receiver are terminating by <CR><LF>. Three digits of result code are added to each message from the ARL2300. If the blank character (blank code) has been added immediately after the result code, the ARL2300 send a simple... -
Page 24: Special Command Prefixes
The special CPF (Special Command Prefix) is a header character that controls ARL2300. If data is sent to the ARL2300 without special CPF, the data is applied to the receiver directly. No data is passed on to the receiver if ARL2300 received the command with special CPF, and the data is used to control the unit. -

The UDP command is @p1. This command should be sent to the ARL2300 every 10 to 120 seconds until audio transmission is stopped. To temporarily stop the UDP data transmission from the ARL2300, the q1 command should be issued.
