janshan,

Hi, and welcome to the forum,

Yes you can do that, you didn't specify exactly which model of the Classic 150.  I don't have expereince with the lite or sl models I have Classic 150's with the MNGP panel. In your manual rev.2056 on page 66 there is a complete description of the networking settings that are possible with the MNGP panel....the display. Each Classic has its own address when used as you described.

John - did you check out Grahams new Android monitoring that he has been developing ? No port forward needed because it sends the data MQTT which a second Android can subscribe to and get the data on screen that way .

Thank you guys for the fast reply
I have regular classic 150 with mgn screen
I was able to forward one port with local IP address for classic A
But couldn’t forward port 504 in the classic B

I need to look into the android app to see how to do it
Do you have step by step of how to do it please?

I guess I forgot to mention that you will need two android devices but old android phones are plentiful and cheap as are new  Amazon 7 inch tablets which are easy enough to hack and remove Amazon os and replace with android os .

I think at this point Graham only has it so it can see one Classic at a time .  I have two in Follow Me and no it wouldn't do both of them but not sure where Graham is in development - better ask him. I thought that if you already have one reporting this would give you the option to see the other one without having to mess around with the port forwarding issue.
