Remote desktop to laptop on other side of RV50

I have a RV50 connected to a laptop and am able to successfully browse the internet/etc from the laptop, but I need to be able to Remote Desktop into this laptop from another PC. I have tried several things with no luck:
Set DMZ Host Enabled to Automatic
Enabled Port Forwarding of port 3389
In VPN section, set Incoming Out of Band to Allowed
In LAN, set IP Passthru through to Ethernet

As you can tell, I’m guessing my way through this. What am I missing? What’s the right way to do this?

Thanks,
Jack

I need the same help. Sierra Wireless does not offer a guide on how to do this?

@jarnold33 As an end user who puts these things in the field, this is the last thing I want to hear, and is the most frustrating answer possible. Authorized distributors suck at tech support. Here is what you get: “Let me pull up the manual”. I can’t count the number of times I’ve said “It is NOT IN THE MANUAL!! THAT’S WHY I’M CALLING!!”

I got mine working. My RV50 is connected to the computer via USB cable. Here is what I did in ACEManager:

Check the LAN page and get the IP address USBNET Interface: My “starting IP” is 192.168.14.100. That is what I used on the following. And it worked.
Security Tab:
DMZ Host Enabled: Auto
Port Forwarding: Enable
Add a port:
Public start: 3389
Public End: 3389
Protocol: TCP
Host IP: 192.168.14.100
Private Port: 3389

My answer above (Aug 2020) seems to only work for modems connected to computer via USB. What do I have to change for a modem connected with Ethernet cable?

Hi @eric.krantz,

You can configure port forwarding for an RV50 connected to a computer via an Ethernet cable by following these steps:

  1. Connect your computer to the RV50 via Ethernet cable.
  2. Launch your browser and enter the IP address and port number: https://192.168.13.31:9443
    · For devices upgraded to ALEOS 4.14.0 or previous: http://192.168.13.31:9191
  3. Log in:
    · User Name: “user” (entered by default)
    · Default Password:
    For devices that support unique passwords, the default password is printed on the device label.
    For other devices, the default password is 12345.
  4. In ACEmanager, go to Security > Port Forwarding.
  • In the Port Forwarding field, select Enable.
  • In the Public Start Port field, enter the desired public network port number.
  • In the Public End Port field, enter 0.
  • In the Protocol field, select the desired protocol.
  • In the Host IP field, enter the IP address of the computer you want to forward data to.
  • In the Private Start Port field, enter the number of the port on the destination computer that you want to forward data to.
  • Click Apply, and after that click Reboot.

Please refer to the session Port Forwarding on https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/software_reference_docs/airlink-rv-series---configuration-guide/#sthash.hlR7rSnt.dpbs (page 187-191).
