as above really.

I have 3G net access in my new van and have it setup to route back to a server in teh workshop (it accesses a Quickbooks DB.) problem is this: marc (revhead) and myself cannot work out how to get through this DSL modem/router.

unit is a dynalink RTA100+.

the whole idea of this is to be able to invoice whilst I'm out and about and the wife have access to the books during the day (takes the load off me at night.) and be able to use it at the workshop as well with out ripping a PC out of the van to do it. (which I used to do daily.)

help! ($$ or booze supplied :laugh: )

RTFM......

What in particular are you having problems with? Are you trying to setup a VPN?

did that. it make little sense to me and marc had issues as well.

we can see the data inbound on it but cannot forward it to the appropriate spot so it comes out and hits the server.

are you not able to route through the router to the destination on the server?

correct. the whole issue lies with port forwarding.

basically I'm looking for someone to come over and get it going for me.

Dynalink RTA100 is a pig of a router.

I cannot remember what configuration options they have anymore.

From what I gather you have the RTA100 at the workshop where your server is

If this is correct, do you have the computer at the workshop on a static IP?

If you do, what software are you using to remotely connect to said remote computer?

Depending on what software you have chosen, have you setup the relevant port forwards on the RTA100 to point to the remote computer?

PM me if you are completely stuck.

correct. server is beside it. runs windows 2k3 server. I have a locked IP-first thing I did. remote PC accesses it via XPhome remote desktop. so from that end its a case of connecting to the 3G service and putting the IP and port in and hitting connect. I can do this and we saw the inbound data packets coming in a few at a time before it fell over and died.

would like to chat via phone if I could.

most of that looks familiar. the last few steps do not. we did get a reboot message though.

I'll have to go set the van up and have a fiddle.

MR benno,

still would like to have a chat.

Have you configured your PC (the one accepting incoming connections) with a fixed LAN IP address?

It should be a simple process of forwarding the appropriate port/s to the IP assigned to the local machine.

MR benno,

just looked at the static IP part. I have two. one for the physical internet addy and the one behind the router. so that part is correct.

keep in mind the other machine is on a 3g wireless network and not physically connected to this server.

I send all day working via a VPN, remote desktop (terminal server) and Citrix... have also used pcAnywhere and a number of other remote pc/connection apps. I'm not an expert, but PM me if you are still stuck.

one question, are you intending to print (invoices, etc) from/in your van? If your accounting software is back on your server at home, printing can be a real pain in the ass!! but there are a few tricks, etc. happy to help if needed. pm or sms me.

Dude I work at AAPT and have an emulator sitting RIGHT in front of me for the RTA100+ you should be able to access the modem interface screen using the IP address:

192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 and then log in using the administrator details:

Username: admin

Password: admin

Unless you've set it to something else.

From the start page which by default should be quick configuration, purple background your gonna see a bunch of tabs up top.

Go to services then choose the sub heading Blocked Protocols, make sure nothing is blocked. Then click on IP filters, add a filter to allow information for inbound and outbound data on whatever port you have setup.

Then click on firewall and disable it, the firewall in these things is a f**king piece of shit, get some form of software based firewall for protection, piss all the onboard stuff off setup a dedicated port forward and make sure nothing is blocked you should have no dramas.

If you have done all that and still have trouble hit me up via PM i got endless documentation on these things and have worked with them for like 2 - 3 years, they are a sack of shit to be honest, do yourself a favour and grab a decent DSL modem/router, will solve so many issues.

ta. you may hear from me tonight.

I know about the printing thing. already locked up one printer and had to reboot the server when I did it.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
