Hi All,

I have problems in get my end user equipment (webcast conference camera) to use udp protocol.

I will like to know how to setup the routerboard to enable the end user equipment to use the UDP protocol.

I am not sure why you are having problems. udp is the standard for both video and voice over IP.

udp and tcp are part of tcp/ip and have universal support in all ROS routing protocols.

Are you sure you are not looking for Multicast?

The point is i dont know how to configure the udp on the rb and the service provider thinks if i allow the end user equipment to get udp from the board then transmission will be fine

so lets configure upd

It doesn’t work that way.

You don’t configure udp on the RouterBoard. It is just a router and will route what the end device requests. If the end device requests udp on port 5000 then that is what the router will route. If the end device requests tcp on port 5001 then that is what the router will route.

how do i know what port the device will use and how do i configure that?

That is chosen by the programmers making the end device. They might allow you to change it depending on their code.

can it also work if we configure the rb to dhcp?

do you have any firewall rules on any rb-s on the path? Maybe that is blocking your udp packets.

no firewall rule

Sounds to me like they are using NAT and need to setup port forwards?
