Typical client / server network

Case 1: Through a router with NAT.
Connect to the external IP
address of your router.
Client software on PC
You need to have a GLOBAL IP address assigned to the external port of your router.
(Please inquire your internet provider to this effect) Dynamically addressed IP
addresses do often change by nature, therefore the client side would have no way to
track the IP address changes and would not be able to connect to the remote receiver.
It is necessary to setup PORT FORWARDING in your router, towards the IP address of
your ARL2300. See chapter 6 "ARL2300 settings" regarding the related port numbers
and IP address. Please refer to your router's manual on how to setup port forwarding.
Case 2: Through the Intranet (router without NAT)
Connect to IP address of
ARL2300.
Client software on PC
When you connect to your ARL2300 over the network from the client side software, you
must first input the IP address of ARL2300 (or external IP address of your NAT router
when using NAT) as a target. You can also input a hostname which shows the IP address
registered in the DNS.
