Remote Access via the Internet
Instructions and settings will differ depending on the Router on the Network. The following is a brief guide with settings necessary to make QS Super Player™ Accessible over the Internet.
Software/Hardware required to use this guide:
- Router setup for your Network
- QS Super Player Sign and Software setup on one of your Computers
You will need to have QS Super Player™ ready and working in order to access it via the Internet.
Router Setup
Load up QS Super Player software and go to Settings > Software Settings. Then go to the Network Settings tab.
Make sure the Allow Remote Login is ticked and then set a User Name and Password, then hit Save and OK.
Take note of the IP Address shown in the box below. In this case, it is 192.168.0.5
If the address is correct, you will be prompted for a User Name and Password. User Name for Routers will generally be admin
Enter the User Name and Password for the Router to login.
After you have logged in, you will need to configure Packet Filtering and Virtual Server (port forwarding).
Make up a new rule for QS Super Player™ and allow port 5150 to be forwarded on to a local computer on the network. In this case, the local computer
has an IP Address of 192.168.0.5 and the incoming port is 5150
The IP Address will be different depending on the network so check the IP Address of the computer connected to QS Super Player™ before setting this up.
If you set the protocol of the rule to TCP/UDP, it will create both rules automatically. Make sure the rule is forwarding packets to port 5150.
Now we will need to create a new set of rules for the Virtual Server section of the Router (can also be called Port Forwarding depending on manufacturer).
Go to Virtual Server > Port Mapping and add a rule like above. Internal IP Address should be the same as the IP Address of the Computer setup with QS Super Player™.
In this case, the IP will be 192.168.0.5
Internal and External ports will be 5150
Create a rule for both TCP and UDP.
QS Super Player Setup
Load up QS Super Player and go to Setup > Remote Access
Add a new set of details for the machine QS Super Player is setup on.
Name: Use a name relevant to where the sign is installed. This is for reference only.
IP: Enter the IP Address of the router on the same network as the computer connected to QS Super Player. The IP will look like the following: 203.170.32.5. If you do not know the Router IP, do a search in your browser for 'what is my ip' to find it from one of the websites listed.
User: Enter the User name setup on the computer connected to QS Super Player.
Password: Enter the Password setup on the computer connected to QS Super Player.
Once done, click Add and the set of details will be added to the panel on the left hand side. Click on the set of details you added to the left, and click Connect.
If everything has been setup correctly, you should get a window with a view of the Computer you setup for QS Super Player. This will allow you to remotely control the Computer over the Internet.
Be sure to click Save in the Remote Login window, otherwise changes to details will need to be re-added in.
