TZO Client - The Test Network Feature



Test Network:
The Test Network button is available in Setup/Configuration of TZO V3, as well as in the Web Server and Photo Server Security sections.  Pressing this button performs some basic network tests to determine if your PC/Web/Photo server has a TCP/IP port available.  If you have a UPnPTM  compatible router or hardware device, the Network Detective can assist in finding an open port and will ask you to route this port to your server.  Using this Network Detective can save you time when setting up and installing the TZO server.  It's also great for novice users that don't understand how to configure their NAT Router or Firewall.


The above screenshot shows the dialog that appears when you run the TEST NETWORK button when the server is in Port 80 mode.  



The above screenshot shows an example of the  dialog that appears when you run the TEST NETWORK button.  This is the TZO software asking permission before we try and use our Network Detective to configure your router or firewall.  


The above screenshot shows the dialog that appears when the Network Detective has found a port on that UPnPTM  compatible router, and its showing that it is IN USE.  Unless you are the owner of the network or an advanced user that understands TCP/IP ports.
