Re: Networking remote dashboard

Is there documentation available as to how "dashboard forwarding" is intended to work and what's legal vs what's "not supported?" There are clear rules about physical and wireless network connections, and reasonably clear statements about port blocking, but where were we supposed to learn that the OP's configuration (which sounds a lot like what we've been doing) was somehow forbidden? If the remote dashboard/video tools use the same cRIO ports, protocols, and subnet as the provided classmate dashboard/video software, and run over legal physical connections, what's been violated? This does not sound to me like a matter of something not being "supported," it sounds more like something's been done to explicitly prevent it. Is that "something" documented anywhere?

Surprise or no, if the classmate-remote subnet must be different than the 10 subnet, why is it that the remote dashboard (proper) would expect to work over it while a remote video monitor wouldn't? Does the "forwarding" mechanism support one but not the other?
