Can I configure CommBox Connect powered by Eshare to work across VLANs?

Yes, CommBox Connect powered by Eshare can work across VLANs and different SSIDs if network traffic between them is allowed and the required ports are open.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Ensure VLAN traffic is allowed

  • CommBox Connect can mirror across different VLANs or SSIDs

  • Your network must allow communication between VLANs

  • Ensure your firewall or router rules do not block traffic between the devices

💡 Tip: This is typically managed by your IT administrator through inter-VLAN routing.

Step 2: Open the required network ports

For CommBox Connect (eShare) to work correctly, the following ports should be open on your network:

Protocol Port Number Purpose
TCP 51510 Discovery and connection
UDP 1900 Device discovery (SSDP)
UDP 5353 mDNS for name resolution
UDP 6000–7000 Media streaming (may vary by app version)
 

💡 Tip: Some enterprise networks block multicast and broadcast traffic—check with your IT team to allow required protocols.

Step 3: Test the connection

  • Install the CommBox Connect eShare app on your computer

  • Ensure both your CommBox and your device can reach each other across VLANs

  • Open the app and look for your CommBox on the device list

If it doesn't appear, confirm the firewall and network settings allow discovery traffic.
