Our peripheral devices are shipped with static IP with the gateway range 192.168.0.xxx. This is normally labelled on the device. We use a custom communication protocol based on TCP/IP, UDP.
Assuming the network connectivity is provided by the user, the typical network architecture is as below:
We recommend utilising the port forwarding functions of a commercial router to forward a designated static public IP address and ports to local IP addresses and ports.
Pre-requisite: you must obtain a Public Static IP Address from your network provider.
Note: Port-forwarding to a public IP address is insecure. When connecting via a Public Network, please consider your cybersecurity policy.
For now, internal and external port forwarding rules have to match (use the same port)
As an example:
The network will need to allow these ports to be used over the Internet to access the devices with below network settings:
RoboKit:
Local IP: 192.168.0.140,
ROS Port: 9090
SenseKit 1
Local IP: 192.168.0.141
ROS Port: 9091
Data Port:12345
SenseKit 2
Local IP: 192.168.0.142
ROS Port: 9092
Data Port:54321
You can use port forwarding on an ASUS Wi-Fi router. The port forwarding can be configured following: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1037906/. In total, 5 port forwarding rules need to be setup as below:
