Remote Setup

radioshopbob

I am trying to be able to run my FLEX 6500 remotely. The radio is in Knoxville, TN and I am in Huntington Beach, CA. when I am trying to run the radio remotely. I am presently in Knoxville and trying to get SmartLink to connect. When I press the TEST button the little circle next to the TEST button turns RED. I have tried AUTOMATIC and it does not work. I went to MANUAL and put in 4993 and 4994 and still not good.

My internet provider is AT&T fiber and I am using their Gateway/Router and I have gone into NAT/Forwarding and tried port forwarding 4993 and 4994 TCP and UDP and I still can't get my radio to connect to SmartLink server. What am I doing wrong here? I am used to a UPnP router and I don't have this issue.

Help, Bob W6MTM

Hi Bob

Did you run through all the steps in Chapter 9 of the manual including the PTT registration. You have to do this while you are sitting beside the radio. Without that step happening, your radio will not register.

If you are still having an issue, open a support ticket so they can help you isolate the problem.

Thanks. I have setup 3 FLEX radios for remote operation and they all worked just fine. I think I may have a problem with this AT&T Gateway/Router because it used to work. I think AT&T did some sort of update and **** things up. I might have to change ISP companies.
