Production Switchers

Hi Jimmy,

Sorry for the late reply....  There is no official number that can be connected.  As more and more connections are established then the system needs to update them one by one when changes occur... So this time can increase as more and more are added.

Using the DashBoard Proxy Server you can setup a DashBoard client running on a PC to be the "gateway" for all the other connections.  This would place the "load" on that PC and then only be a single connection between the Carbonite and DashBoard.  This is also the best way to connect "remote clients" that are accessed via VPN...  Once local machine connects them to the Carbonite.

Hi Les,

If I want to use Dashboard over VPN to access all my Ross products, what ports and protocols do I need to request be opened from my IT staff?  Our organization has a VPN, but they keep it fairly narrow.  Thanks in advance.

Hello Les,

sorry to barge in. I also have a couple of question on this subject:

Is it possible (and safe) to have the TouchDrive Panel Dashboard as proxy server? 

Or, the other way around, to connect the DashBoard of the TouchDrive Panel to Carbonite via a proxy?

Thanks,

No this is not a good idea ..  using the Panel as the Proxy server is not recommended.  That would add a workload to the panel CPU to now become the gateway to other PCs and feeding that data.  Please use a separate PC that is not the TD Panel.
