SETTING UP STATIC IP AND PORT FORWARDING

[HAVA HOSTING]

This is how you setup your router and HAVA for a static IP and Port Forwarding.

( THESE STEPS DO NOT APPLY TO THE WIRELESS MODELS )

First let's start with your router. My router is setup as 192 168 1 1

I first make a Static IP in the router using 192 169 1 110 port 56123 UDP

You can use any static IP as long as it does not conflict with other uses.

You can use 56123 UDP or 1234 UPD for your port setup

Make sure your router is set to ALWAYS ON in the port.

[HAVA HOSTING]

After setting up your router now connect your HAVA to the router and with your PC on the same router use the HAVA Wizard to start the setup of your system. After you have gone through all the steps to setup your HAVA, Firmware upgrade if required, IR setup, password and username, your HAVA will complete the remote login.

AFTER FIRMWARE UPGRADE FACTORY RESET YOUR HAVA



AFTER THIS DO NOT LOG OFF BUT GO TO ADVANCED ON THE HAVA WIZARD DO NOT LAUNCH HAVA YET.



In ADVANCED go to NETWORK. Now you need to enter the setup for the Port Forwarding. As I use 192 168 1 1 then in my Wizard I setup the HAVA as follows.

192 168 1 110 ( Hava Port )
255 255 255 0 ( SUB NET MASK )
192 168 1 1 ( GATEWAY )
192 168 1 1 ( DNS )

After this you complete the task APPLY and SAVE the settings. The Wizard will ask you if you want to save on exit.

Do this and a new warning Popup window shows. Continue on, if you look at your HAVA the network lights will go OFF then back on after your EXIT the HAVA setup. HAVA will advise the process is successful.

You can now start your HAVA.

Go to Settings then TOOLS and you can see the IP Address your ADSL is using.

PS you can even remote reboot a HAVA but it takes several minutes. It does work I have tried it.

I have setup all forwarding listed here on the forums and set static IP on HAVA still no luck in seeing the HAVA server to set up for remote viewing. I am using Linksys Router and here is screenshot below of port forwarding I have done. What I am doing wrong?

[Bryanod]

No port forwarding is needed for a lan connection. You need to be able to connect to the hava via the lan first before portforwarding comes in to play

[sabu1966]

I did that and it is working fine on the lan, but when the wizard goes to set up remote viewing I can never get through. It's working beatifully behind my router in the home just cant get it setup for remote viewing.

Whats the lan ip of the router? Your hava might be behind 2 NAT's

You only need to configure one port if you have one Hava.

By the way you do not put multiple things to the same port and you also have TCP set to port 110 that could cause a conflict.

Remove them as HAVA does no use port 80 or 443 TCP entries

In your router delete those and one of the Hava entries. Just use port 1234 or port 56123 UDP the 192 168 1 110 port. You cannot have 4 entries using the same port.

If say you ahd two HAVA you could use port 1234 UDP to POrt 192 168 1 110 for the first Hava.

But for the second Hava you'd need a separate port so you would do 56123 to 192 168 1 120 as a different port.

To get better than 1mb on remote streams please download this patch into your Windows7 or XP VISTA setup.

DO NOT USE FIREFOX TO RUN THIS. USE EXPLORER.

http://forum.taiwansatellite.tv/ff/havaupspeed.reg

Now run the Hava Upspeed patch it will ask do you want to run or change registry just click yes. After doing so reboot your computer again.

Now click on the Hava PC player if it asks to run Wizard Click NO. If your Hava says cannot find local device also click ok and ignore.

Now go to PLAYER then go to Settings, go to Quality and in the REMOTE change the Max Video Bitrate to no higher than your UPLOAD or 4000kpbs then click apply ok.

If your UPLOAD speed is say 2mb try 2000 or say 1800kpbs

Go to Player again then go to the bottom and click off the attempt default connection. Below this go to ADD and you will see a new directory open up.

In your Shortcut name put name provided ( all caps )

In the Hava Name put name provided ( all CAPS ), nothing in Hava ID, the Password ( provided ) is also ( ALL CAPS ) Click on save password but do not set as default, then click OK.

Now you can click and your remote name and watch your Hava. To connect do not use the CONNECT button on the screen. Start the Hava, go to PLAYER at top then go to ADD SELECT HAVA them click on your account name in the remote section twice.

After you are streaming you can now go to PLAYER then Settings, then go to VIDEO, add a little contrast by moving control to the right then click apply ok.

ONCE YOU HAVE STARTED THE HAVA PC PLAYER YOU CAN PUSH F1 ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO READ ABOUT THE HAVA PC PLAYER USERS GUIDE

PLEASE READ USING HAVA PC PLAYER ESPECIALLY KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS AND RECORDING

Went through doing IP & port forwarding and went to son's to test remotely but missed procedure to add remote Hava in Player;

Player
Add/Select Hava
ADD
Enter HAVA Name
Password

After realizing this was able to watch but was a little choppy my upload is only rated 384k. At least it didn't hang up like my SlingBox Solo was. I plan to test again just leaving only the Hava up on our lan currently have NetTalk voip running and an old XP pc doing "Folding at Home". Hopefully it will be more like when we're snowbirding and viewing remotely.

If l watch the remote while home I get 500k + and it looks great. We're using dsl and my son has cable. Will have to run speedtest there also. I may have to upgrade my service but only want to as a last resort.
