Q: HOW CAN I CONNECT VULKANO TO TV ANTENNA?
A: You may firstly connect TV antenna to an external STB, or DVR, then connect the STB or DVR
to Vulkano via Composite or Component port
Q: CAN THE VULKANO CONNECT WIRELESSLY TO THE WIRELESS NETWORK IN MY HOME OR MUST
IT BE CONNECTED VIA ETHERNET CABLE?
A: Vulkano comes with an 802.11n Standard built in Wireless chipset which makes
it wireless capable.
Q: REMOTE ACCESS IS FAILED DURING SETUP / WARNING MESSAGE ABOUT THE TCP PORT OF
49177 IS BLOCKED / I CAN’T VIEW THE TV IN MOBILE IN 3G
A: Vulkano uses TCP 49177 and TCP + UDP 56123 for Remote access. It usually can configure
your router automatically if UPnP of your router is enabled. If not, or your router doesn’t not
support UPnP, manual port forwarding may be required.
You may refer to www.portforward.com for instruction.
i) Visit the website and select model of your router,
ii) Press Skip the advertisement on the top,
iii) Search for Monsoon vulkano and Click it for step by step instruction.
Q: WILL MY 802.11 G ROUTER WORK WITH A VULKANO?
A: Yes, it will work with 802.11g router. Vulkano supports 802.11b, g & n Wireless Standards.
Q: CAN I SET MY VULKANO UP USING A PC?
A: Vulkano can be configured using PC and Mac Setup Wizard. In addition to this you can use the
Vulkano Remote Control for TV Setup Wizard to configure it on your TV.
Q: IS STATIC IP SETUP FOR VULKANO REQUIRED?
A: Since Vulkano renegotiates UPnP port forwarding rules whenever it gets an IP address, it
should not need to have a static IP set if your router supports UPnP (and UPnP is enabled).
However, there is no harm in having the IP set for static either – just the standard warnings
about making sure that the static IP chosen is not in the DHCP allocation range set by the router
or used by another device using static IP on the same LAN.
If Vulkano is being used on a router that does NOT support UPnP, and as a result port
forwarding had to be set manually using the router’s web interface, then static IP assignment for
Vulkano is recommended. Some routers feature a way to assign the same IP address to a device
repeatedly, which can be used instead of setting static IP on the Vulkano.
