Mobile Network

ADVANCED USERS ONLY!

Using the mobile network with MobiMouse is not recommended due to the slow response time.

You will likely experience a lag between the time you use MobiMouse and the time a command is received. The amount of lag depends on the type of network (eg. CDMA, EDGE, 3G, etc) and network traffic.

You must setup port forwarding to use the Mobile Network if your PC is connected to a router.

This can be accomplished by forwarding UDP packets on port 8080 (default port) to the PC with MobiMouse.

Please refer to your router manual for detailed instructions about setting up port forwarding.

A good resource with various port forwarding examples is available at: http://www.portforward.com

To use a Mobile connection you will need to enter the WAN IP address and port of your PC into MobiMouse on the BlackBerry. To find your WAN IP address and Port open MobiMouse on Windows and select the Network tab to view the WAN IP and Port. You can use the "Refresh" button to reload your WAN IP. If you are using a dynamic IP address your WAN IP may change over time.

Please use a password when connecting over the mobile network. A randomly generated password is supplied when you first start MobiMouse. You can change this to your own password or leave the password field blank to disable password protection (not recommended).

The password menu option is available on the BlackBerry when you have "Mobile" connection selected. The password on the BlackBerry must match the password on the PC exactly or you won't be able to connect. This means upper and lowercase sensitivity.

Click the "Connect" button in MobiMouse on the BlackBerry to start using MobiMouse.

APN

GSM devices will need to enter the APN under Options > Advanced Option > TCP. Look at the FAQ on our website if you don't know the APN and it has not already been set for you. If you get an error such as "Invalid Tunnel" or "Tunnel Timeout" it means you need to set the APN or your carrier does not support this type of gateway.

Windows Firewall

If you have Windows Firewall running, it may try to block MobiMouse. To unblock MobiMouse go to the Windows Security Panel, select the Windows Firewall, and set it to allow connections to MobiMouse.

Other firewall software may block MobiMouse as well. You will need to configure your firewall software to allow connections to MobiMouse.
