This information is crucial if you are installing the devices on remote networks with WAN or VPN.
If you need more information regarding connection modes, please refer to Connection Modes in BioStar 2

The server port of BioStar 2 is 51212 by default, but you can change it to another port in Setting > Server.

If you are not sure how to search port usage on a Windows PC, refer to the following article:

Server and Device Connection

With server to device mode, the device connection is initiated from the BioStar Client, and the client makes a connection to the server. This is why you cannot see the device from another client when it’s already connected to a particular client. In this case, the port number is like the one below.

If you are installing devices in a remote network, it is recommended that you use the device to the server so that the device will automatically connect to the server if it loses connection.
Refer to the images below to see what ports should be open and forwarded as necessary in your firewall and router.

Changing the Web Server Port

BioStar Setting is included in the installation of BioStar. You can search for the application in the start menu.
You will have to stop the services to change the port.
