With the proper setup, the AudioReQuest can be accessed over the Internet from anywhere.
This allows you to connect with Java Remote to control your unit from another location or
connect to the Web Server to stream your music to your computer or make a custom
playlist.
10.1.1 Routers/Gateway
For broadband Internet users, it is highly recommended that a router be used. It provides
two functions. First, it allows all computers and devices such as the AudioReQuest to share
the same Internet connection. Second, it protects your network from security threats such
as viruses, worms, and malicious hackers. The router is connected between the cable or
DSL modem and the rest of your network. NOTE: Some Broadband Internet Service
Providers provide a router with their cable modem. Make sure you only have one
router on your network.
10.1.2 Port Forwarding
In order for the AudioReQuest to be seen outside of your local network and accessed from
outside your home network, some ports must be forwarded on your router. Since there are
dozens of brands and models of routers on the market today, there is a convenient web site
called PortForward.com that walks through the process or forwarding a port with most
commercially available routers available. As a convenience, there are specific AudioReQuest
instructions with the link below. Just choose the router manufacturer and brand and follow
the steps:

10.1.3 AudioReQuest Ports
The default ports AudioReQuest uses are defined below.
Default Port Number Name Description
80 Web Port Access to the Web Server
3663 Control Port Access to Java Remote
22 or 57 Diagnostic Port Remote Diagnostic, Software Updates
4665 Sync Port Multi-Location Netsync
They can be changed on the Web Server under settings to have different values than the
default numbers shown below. The two main reasons to change from defaults are 1)
Internet Service Providers may block ports less than 100, and 2) you have more than one
AudioReQuest (including Zones) and want to access the web server and control port for
more than one unit on the same network. Make sure when you change the port numbers,
that you pick a value that is not being used by another device including the first
AudioReQuest.
