Install PMS on QNAP NAS on different subnet

Hi. I have a QNAP NAS with a newly installed PMS instance. The NAS is on a different subnet (1) than my workstation (2). I start the embedded client from a web browser on my workstation. It searches for my media server, but does not detect it.

I have opened up connections on port 32400 from network 2 -> 1. I guess that I need to add network 1 and 2 as a “well known” local network to the server, and also open up for GDM UDP ports. The problem is that I cannot reach the actual server instance to configure it… I just cannot believe that a manual entry of a server IP is impossible to facilitate…

How is this best handled?

(OK, I guess connecting a client to the same network as the server will suffice, but it should absolutely not be necessary in my view)

PMS on a different subnet is the same as having a remote/hosted pms elsewhere.

you will either need to tunnel into the pms host and setup as from local host, or temporarily change either pms or your workstation to the same subnet.

most computers can be set with a secondary ip/subnet, so that may make it less painful.

  1. On source machine: ssh -l admin -L 8888:127.0.0.1 ip.addr.of.qnap
  2. Sign in and let the shell sit.
  3. On same source machine, Open incognito browser http://127.0.0.1:8888/web

Thanks guys, I’ll just tunnel in for now as you proposed, @ChuckPa. I seriously expected a scenario like this to be handled by the embedded web client - this being a commercial product and all.
