Post by Gareth MagennisHi,
is there a way of controlling the LS9 via the Interweb?
I'm thinking Festival, irate locals/officials, turning up at site
peripherals or even local abodes with ipad or laptop/mobile phone internet,
and dialling out the 80 Hz rattling their windows.
(I will have a local ipad controlling the LS9 anyway)
Cheers,
Gareth.
Anything you can do on the LAN you can do on a WAN so long as you know how
to do port forwarding on your router and you know the outside IP address
assigned by the ISP to your network. You basically route requests for the
particular ports your remote application and the LS9 need to operate to the
specific internal IP address your LS9 is assigned to. All this works best if
both your network's external address to the outside world and your internal
addresses are static. That way if something gets power cycled you don't have
to worry about the address changing like they can on a DHCP network. This
soft of thing usually costs more from you ISP. That said, you can do it with
dynamically assigned IP addresses too. You just have to know what they are
and keep your fingers crossed nothing happens to change them while you're
working.
Keep in mind there will be a lot more latency driving your desk over the
internet compared to LAN since you're bouncing packets all over the place
instead of just within the local network.
Thanks.
So does that mean I can link a mobile phone to the ipad controlling the LS9,
go a mile away with my laptop and another mobile phone, and run the LS9 from
a mile away?
(There will be no wi-fi internet in a festival field)
What software can remotely connect such a Windows 8 laptop with the ipad?
Has anyone ever done this?
Gareth.
