Configuring your TSS server to allow remote control over the Internet
In order to be able to remotely open and fully use TSS over
the internet you have to be able to access MTAS aka Installernet application
server which runs and can be accessed if port 4325 is broadcast over the
internet.
On the remote computer you would want to download from
http://www.installernet.com/tss and download the demo
when running the setup click next until you get to
using the mouse or the down arrow key on your keyboard you want to change this to a client install
finish the install and when you open TSS on the remote computer add a new server using the public ip address of your office computer.
You can broadcast port 4325 by turning on port forwarding on
your router in the office.
You will need to login to your router in the office and add an entry to the port forwarding section similar to what is below
Every router is a bit
different but in general you have to allow the MTAS executable through the
firewall, and using the public ip address for your company that can be found by
going to http://www.whatismyipaddress.com and that will show your public ip address
that you could on a laptop or portable computer install the client version of
TSS and add an entry for your server using that public ip address
To test port forwarding you can go to a browser and enter
http://publicip:4325/soap
and if it is working you will get an xml configuration page similar to
This XML file does not appear to have any style information

If you hold down the shift key when starting TSS it allows
you to add entries for different ways to connect to TSS
Then using the drop down you can add new server then using the
public ip address you can from any connection that has internet access run TSS
like you were in the office
