A provisioned RadioPro Link connection normally does not require a static public IP address or an inbound port-forwarding rule at the Gateway site. Clients use CTI's assigned endpoint rather than the internet provider's current public address.
This addresses a common Starlink/cellular problem: the site router may itself be behind the provider's CGNAT. A port-forwarding rule on that router cannot by itself create an inbound path through the provider's shared address.
| Setting | With RadioPro Link |
|---|---|
| Remote client destination | The provisioned Link endpoint and connection settings. |
| Gateway's local LAN address | Still needs valid local settings, using DHCP or a suitable static configuration. |
| Restricted network policy | IT may need to allow the provisioned service traffic. |
The Link announcement describes typical Starlink/default-router setups without router changes, while recognizing that strict networks can require an allow rule. Obtain the assigned destination and port requirements from CTI; do not open an entire port range or expose all Gateway management services.
Confirm Link provisioning and compatible versions before removing an existing remote-access arrangement. A direct local connection and a Link connection use different paths and may use different address entries.
