Quick Start Guide

Using ConnectBot as example, I will show you how to setup NeoRouter for Android within minutes. This guide assumes that user had previously setup a NeoRouter Domain and added remote computers. Please read our User's Manual for complete setup instructions.

Download and install NeoRouter from Android market.

Launch NeoRouter for Android and Sign In. The sign-in experience on Android is similar to that on Windows and Mac. Once you have signed in, you will see the list of remote computers in your network. If online, a computer is shown in bold with a color icon. It is also assigned a virtual IP address as shown inside the parenthesis.


Long-click on an online computer and you will see the launch pad dialog with a list of applications/ports. Choose SSH (22) from the list and NeoRouter will setup port forward from localhost:32973 to the SSH port of the remote computer.


Launch ConnectBot, enter "user@localhost:32973", and you will connect to the remote computer via SSH.

Tip: if you need multiple SSH connections concurrently, you can add multiple entries to localhost:32973 in ConnectBot by changing the Nick Name property. See ConnectBot's FAQ for more information.


If you need to connect to a different computer or to use a different application, you can simply repeat the above steps to setup a different Dynamic Port Forward in NeoRouter. Then new connections to localhost:32973 will be forwarded to this new remote address. The change does not interrupt existing connections.
