 The following steps explain how to access the Indigo Server from **within the local area network** (LAN) of your house. Configuring your network to allow Indigo Server access from outside your home (on the other side of your router/cable modem) is more complex and will depend on your network topology, router type, and ISP features (static versus dynamic IP addresses). For this reason, we are only providing instructions on how to get local (in house) remote access to Indigo Server.
-If you desire easy remote Indigo Server access from outside your home, then you may want to subscribe to the [[http://www.indigodomo.com/indigo/prism_info.html|Prism Reflector service]], which provides secure [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]] and remote Web browser access from anywhere with no network configuration needed. A free trial subscription is available for all Indigo customers.

 Alternatively, you can configure your network by consulting your router user manual and, if your ISP does not provide a static IP address, using a dynamic DNS mapping service like DynDNS.com. Because of the potential complexity involved in manually configuring networks and routers for this type of access, Perceptive Automation cannot provide direct support answers about router port forwarding or IP discovery issues. Users having difficulty configuring their networking hardware should post on the [[https://forums.indigodomo.com/|online support forum]]. Be sure and include details about the type of hardware you have and what steps you have tried.

 ==== Discovering the Indigo Server IP Address (LAN only) ====
-The Indigo Web Server advertises itself via Bonjour, so [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]] and Safari (by clicking on the bookmarks icon, then selecting Bonjour) will automatically find any local servers. In addition to that, when connecting to a local server for the first time, [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]] will also automatically fetch Prism Reflector settings for that connection so that you'll be able to connect outside your LAN via Edge/3G.

 For other browsers to remotely access the Web server, we need to know the network IP address for the Mac running Indigo Server. This address will be used on the remote Mac or Web browser when connecting to the Indigo Server. Follow these steps on the Mac running Indigo Server.

 [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]], the iPhone and iPod Touch application from Perceptive Automation, allows the user to view and control Devices, activate Action Groups, view Variables, and access custom Control Pages (Pro only feature). One of the best features of [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]] is it's ability to automatically detect and configure network connections. If your iPhone (or iPod Touch) is connected to your local wireless LAN, then it should automatically discover your server. In [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]], tap the **''Settings''** button. You should see the name of your Database in the list. Tap on it, and it will connect (it will ask for your username/password if you have one set, but it will remember it going forward so you won't have to type it in again).
-At this point, [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]] will also query the server to see if you have a Prism Reflector account set up for the server. This makes connecting to your home server via [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]] completely seemless. If you have a reflector set up and running, then [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]] will automatically attempt to connect no matter where you are or how you're connected. If you're local, it will use the local wireless LAN, If you're on a remote wireless LAN, it will attempt to use the reflector account. If you're on you iPhone on EDGE/3G, it will also attempt to connect via your reflector account. This makes [[http://www.indigodomo.com/touch|Indigo Touch]] truly location agnostic!
