Port forwarding howtos

<< < (2/2)

If you have a Verizon FIOS router, you'll need firmware 1.2.

1. In Settings->System, set HTTP and HTTPS ports.  Example: 8000 and 8443, but you can choose any other port not 80 and 443.
2. In your router, your port forwarding set up should look something like this:

BlueSpray IP address ->
    Destination Ports 8xxx
TCP Any -> 8xxx    All Broadband Devices    Active

Where 8xxx can be either 8000 or 8443 or other ports that you've set in (1) above.

For example. if your BlueSpray controller IP address is 192.168.1.100, then your rule should look something like this:

192.168.1.100:8000             HTTP                            All Broadband Devices                     Active
                                                  TCP Any ->8000

Or if you prefer https:

192.168.1.100:8443             HTTPS                            All Broadband Devices                     Active
                                                  TCP Any ->8443

How do you set up the port forwarding for Bluespray on a Uverse 2 wire modem/router?

There is a good instruction discussion from AT&T itself here:

http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB413180&cv=812#fbid=8aVxa3-puXN

You'd input the IP address of BlueSpray controller as the host computer, use BlueSpray as application name,
from port is 8000 (up to you), end port same.  Map to host is 80, protocol is TCP.

bluespray_admin:
Don't forget to set or reserve a static IP address for the controller.
On most routers, you can view attached devices, then select the device with the controller's IP address, and set the static IP address.

There is a very good instruction on how to do port forwarding for airport here:

http://www.macworld.com/article/2081139/how-to-set-up-port-forwarding.html

Remember, the port you'd want to use is 8000.  You'd also want to reserve an IP
address for your controller as mentioned on the bottom of the page.
