I know that there is\was an issue with server mode and pockettouch, is the same true of touchoffice (std/pro) ?
I only noticed cos mine wasn't communicating (same PC as TP)
So I turned it off and it worked again
Is it just me being a numpty again or is there a fix?
Numpty is an acceptable answer if I've missed something obvious, like adding a port number or the like

There's a port number setting in the system config menu

[rob0411]

I had seen that, but I was only trying to talk to one instance of TP and hadn't really changed anything else.
So are you saying, If server mode is enabled then you need to specify the port number after the IP address in setup?
In this case 127.0.0.1:xxxxx

As soon as you put it in server mode it changes all the network port mappings so that each instance doesn't clash with any other instance. This includes the PocketTouch socket.

I'll take that as a 'yes' then
Is there a guide? For the real world?
Is anyone using it in a live site?

in server mode (and upnp) port numbers for services are:

30000
+ (till number * 100)
+ service number

so service 4 on till 17 would be 31704

services are:
1: back office TCP port
2: XML portal (PocketTouch etc)
3: VNC
4: WWW
5: Push Notifications

That plus whatever we had to say about connecting TouchOffice over the internet using port forwarding.

I don't think I did a very good job reading your post initially and stopped at the word PocketTouch

This will be in the new reference manual

What page are you up to?

Sorry Rob, I wasn't ignoring you. I just thought we did actually have a guide someplace but wanted to ask the man that knows
