    I have a plan to use remote management using Wiser.
    It is specifically using the following functions.
    1. Connect with C-Bus from iPhone and PC in a remote network.
    2. Update Project of Wiser from a remote network.
    3. Update Project of Colour C-Touch from a remote network.
    4. Manage C-Bus from a remote network using ToolKit.
    5. To see the picture of WebCam via Wiser from both LAN and remote network.
    6. To see the picture of WebCam directly from both LAN and remote network.

    The following is the contents which I checked. I think if it becomes your reference, and make a note.

    Option A.
    I added configuration following as the manual.
    I got the good result which except the following two points.
    1. ToolKit does not connect C-Bus from a remote network.
    A message "0 Units Found" may be displayed. ToolKit may generate timeout by going via the network of slow speed. A cause is unknown.
    2. I cannot see the picture of WebCam direct from PC in a remote network.
    Since Port Fowarding function of Wiser Router does not have a function which changes a port number, it is impossible as this was already reported. From this result, I cannot attain the purpose with Option A.
    Next, I tried the Option B. The next post explains this.

    Option B.
    Configuration is following the manual.
    1. Connect an Internet Access router to the LAN port of Wiser. I set the IP address of a router as 192.168.2.1.
    2. I made the IP address 192.168.2.101 of CNI Mk2 and the IP address 192.168.2.100 of Wiser.
    3. I made Wiser into the LAN device in Wiser Project. I set the RT-AP switch in Wiser to AP.
    4. A setup about WebCam is the same as OptionA.
    5. I set up Port Fowarding of a router as following the manual. And, I add a Port Fowarding for WebCam.
    In Port 8500 to LAN Port 80 for 192.168.2.235(WebCam)

    With this configuration, I did not connect Wiser from remote site.
    However, it was possible to update Project of Wiser from the remote side.
    I think that the function in which this receives the Project data in Wiser knows the default gateway.
    I think that a DNS server address and default gateway were set Wiser as a LAN device within Project data.
    I think this is misunderstanding.
    It seems that a LAN device setup in Project data only teaches it to the function to receive Project data.
    Although the IP address of the DNS server is shown as the Status screen of Wiser, the address of the default gateway is not shown. I think, Wiser cannot communicate with remote site.

    The method of solving this problem is as follows.
    1. Set a Internet Setup of Wiser to Static IP as follows.
    Wiser IP 192.168.2.100
    default gateway 192.168.2.1
    DNS IP 192.168.2.1
    Sub Net 255.255.255.0

    Usually, this is a bad setting.
    However, Wiser accepts this setup.
    2. Connect the Internet Port of Wiser to the LAN side.
    Please refer to an attachment picture. If it is a person who knows network, this connection is a mistake.
    If only HUB is connected the LAN side of Wiser, I can connect with Wiser only from the LAN side.
    If only HUB is connected the WAN(Internet) side of Wiser, I can connect with Wiser only from the WAN side.

    There is no telling whether this configuration and connection are right.
    I think it is not workable in future Router firmware and Update of PICED.
    I was also able to connect from ToolKit of the remote network.
    However, in this setup, I cannot update Project of Colour C-Touch from a remote network.
    The next post explains solution of this.

    The default of the Port number of an Internet setup of Project of Colour C-Touch is 0.
    However, 8336 is actually used in this case. A Port Fowarding setup of this number is carried out as an object for Project Update of Wiser at the router. I changed an Internet setup of Project into 9000, and added a Port Fowarding setup of the router.
    In Port 9000 to LAN Port 9000 for 192.168.2.200 (Colour C-Touch).
    However, even if it puts in this setup, I can not connect with Colour C-Touch from the remote side.
    The following things became clear as a result of investigation. 1. 8336 and 8081 are used for Colour C-Touch as Input Port.
    2. If an Internet setup of Project is changed into 9000, PICED will change Destination Port into 9000. However, Colour C-Touch does not receive Poot 9000.
    That is, it is required the following configuration. I change an Internet setup of Project into 9000.

    I add a Port Fowarding setup of a router.
    In Port 9000 to LAN Port 8336 for 192.168.2.200 (Colour C-Touch).
    In Port 8081 to LAN Port 8081 for 192.168.2.200 (Colour C-Touch).
    I can update Project of Colour C-Touch from a remote by this setup.
    However, in this setup, I cannot update from the remote of the 2nd set of Colour C-Touch.
    It is because the port number 8081 cannot be changed within Project.
    In order to update from the remote of the 2nd set of Colour C-Touch, it is necessary to carry out remote login to a router, after the 1st set is completed, and to change two above-mentioned Port Fowarding setup into the 2nd set.
    In Port 9001 to LAN Port 8336 for 192.168.2.201 (2nd Colour C-Touch).
    In Port 8081 to LAN Port 8081 for 192.168.2.201 (2nd Colour C-Touch).

    It is unknown whether all memos are right. However, it is one of the solutions at present.
