2a. Opening a Firewall Port

Top  Previous  Next

The first thing to do is open port 12600 in your router's firewall.  This allows PhonePad Remote to connect to the router using that port.

 

On our Netgear router this is done by adding a "service".  Although we named the service "PhonePad5Remote" you can usually use any name you like.  The important parts are the type, which is TCP, and the port, which is 12600.

This is how it looks on our router once it has been added:
