Connecting IP devices Across Different Networks
All Autoscript IP devices (IP monitors, IP controllers, Xbox-IP) will send out a UDP (User Datagram
Protocol) discovery broadcast beacon as soon as the device is powered on and has completed
booting. The device will continue to generate the discovery beacon while it is powered.
The WP-IP application will detect the discovery beacon and add the device to the Available Devices
list within WP-IP
The ability for WP-IP to automatically discover devices via the discovery beacon is only possible
when the laptop/PC running WP-IP, and the devices themselves, are on the same LAN (local area
network) broadcast domain.
Usually the laptop/PC running WP-IP will be on the same LAN as the devices.
This relationship is most common in locations where all devices are in the same building and are on
an internal network; in a large broadcast television studio for example.
However, there may be cases where the WP-IP application is running on a laptop/PC in a different
location from the other devices. For example, an outside broadcast where the prompter laptop/PC is
in a studio and the presenter is some distance away.
In this case the remote devices may not be on the same LAN as the laptop/PC running WP-IP.
The connection of the devices is therefore different:
•
Devices connected to the same LAN as the laptop/PC running WP-IP will be auto
discoverable in WP-IP via the discovery beacon they are broadcasting.
•
Devices not connected to the same LAN as the laptop/PC running WP-IP will not be auto
discoverable in WP-IP via the discovery beacon they are broadcasting.
A route between the two networks is required which will enable the IP devices to connect to WP-IP.
Using a VPN IP Tunnel
An IP tunnel is an IP network communications channel between two networks. It is used to transport
another network protocol by encapsulation of its packets. Using this method IP devices can be
connected to WP-IP when they are not on the same network.
Where a VPN IP tunnel is used the device will need to be entered manually in WP-IP using its IP
address. There are specific ports which devices use, and the VPN/firewall must be configured to
allow traffic to pass over these ports.
