I am trying to use the Prodigy Composer software to setup my PMC2 with my iPhone (Mobile Pro). I have no other hardware. I am trying to stay away from the other Crestron software to set my system up since I plan on making it as simple as possible however I realize I may have to dip into Toolbox, SystemBuilder, Simpl, etc., for additional configuration if necessary. I plan only to use this within an internal LAN, therefore port forwarding shouldn't be an issue on my router since no internal ports are being blocked. I am using a Linksys WRT54GL running the Tomato firmware (which may prove to be an issue). Through Toolbox I have enabled DHCP (setup a static 192.168.1.111 for PMC2 and 192.168.1.116 for the iPhone through the router), Auto Negotiate, Host Name: PMC2, CIP: 41790, CTP: 41791 (by the way, what does CIP and CTP stand for?), HTTP: 8081 (does not appear to matter since I'm over local LAN but have tried 80 as well), enabled WINS (do not believe this is necessary but checked it anyway), console password set to 1234.
Also, in Toolbox within System Info I have Enable Web Server checked (which probably doesn't mean balls).
Within Composer, I have setup my config file, established a connection to the PMC2 and uploaded both the Mobile Pro file and the system file into the PMC2. Aside from a few errors about not having codes for certain buttons, all is transferred successfully.
Now with all of this setup, the iPhone cannot connect to the PMC2 over the network.
The config for the iPhone is as follows:
Friendly Name/Location: Ohana
Use Local File: No
Host Name or IP Address: 192.168.1.111
HTTP: 8081 (have also tried 80 but do not think this matters much)
Port A: 41790
Port B: 41792 (still not sure what these numbers are used for. The help file is anything but help)
Passcode: 1234
I suspect there is an issue with the LAN connection because of the following reason: I am unable to establish a connection with the PMC2 via Composer when adjusting the communication settings from USB to TCP under setup network on the last page. I have created a new entry for a TCP connection with the following: IP: 192.168.1.111, Port (if not default): 41790 (have also tried leaving blank. I'm guessing this should match up to Port A?), Password: 1234, Device Type: Auto Detect.
Couple things:
For your processor setup:
CIP should be 41794
CTP should be 41795
(these are used by toolbox and crestron devices for communication. No reason to change them from default.)
You can adjust webport to your preference. Webserver must be enabled.
In programming:
Set a unique port number for each instance of the Mobile App you wish to support. I usually use 41781-41789. In SIMPL this is set in the parameters at bottom of the hardware symbol. In SB it is probably configured in devices settings?
In the App:
Make sure your hostname, webport and password match the settings configured above. Port A should the be the port# you setup in SIMPL/SB. Port B can be blank (this was an artifact of the older Mobile app symbols, I believe it now acts as a fail-over port in case the first port is unavailable.)
