Set up SmartThings hub on a university network

[happywillow0 (William S.)]

Getting things running on a university network is normally harder than a home network due to the additional restrictions.

One thing that comes to mind is the ability of the hub to communicate with the SmartThings cloud. Although you set up a static IP, there are some ports that ST uses which may be blocked by the network.

Port Forwarding

Hello, I was reading about the ST setup process and saw that I need to open some ports with port forwarding on my router. I’ll have to do this manually as I don’t have UPnP enabled on my router setup any more. I’ve searched the FAQ’s, the KnowledgeBase, the forums but I don’t see any info or tutorial of what needs to be set for the port forwarding. Have I missed it somewhere? Will I get any use out of my hub until I figure out the port forwarding needed? Could anyone possibly post the ports that need to be opened and some basic info on which ip address I’ll be forwarding to, even if it’s just a screenshot of your own setup with the ports that are required? (I’m guessing the ST hub, but I don’t want to make an idiotic assumption.) ST will be set in my router with an internal static ip addr…
