Router Port Forwarding
You will need to enable port forwarding on your Router to allow for external
communications with your Observation System for ports:
TCP/IP PORT: 3000, 3001, 3002 & 3003
WEB PORT: 80
Computers, Observation Systems, and other devices inside your network can only
communicate directly with each other within the internal network. Computers and
systems outside your network cannot directly communicate with these devices. When a
system on the internal network needs to send or receive information from a system
outside the network (i.e. from the Internet), the information is sent to the Router.
NETWORK EXAMPLE
When a computer on the Internet needs to send data to your internal network, it sends
this data to the external IP address of the Router. The Router then needs to decide
where this data is to be sent to. This is where setting up Port Forwarding becomes
important.

Port Forwarding tells the router which device on the internal network to send the data to.
When you set up port forwarding on your Router, it takes the data from the external IP
address:port number and sends that data to an internal IP address:port number (i.e.
Router External IP 216.13.154.34:6100 to Observation System Internal IP
192.168.0.3:6100).
The instructions found online in the Router Configuration Guide will assist you in the port
forwarding configurations for a selection of different router models.
