Connecting to the Online Rowing Server

RowPro connects to the Online Rowing Server at digitalrowing.com to participate in live Online Rowing sessions.  The Online Rowing Server handles the live, real-time processes by which these sessions are rowed online.

RowPro connects to the Online Rowing Server via UDP Port 9300. You may need to configure your Internet Firewall and possibly other devices like modems in your Internet connection path to enable RowPro to access the Internet via UDP Port 9300.

Connecting to Oarbits

RowPro connects to the Oarbits Server at digitalrowing.com to enable you to set up and join Scheduled Rows and to view Session Results using the Oarbits client built into the RowPro Control Center.

The Oarbits Server handles the prior scheduling of sessions and the subsequent posting of results.  The Oarbits Server is a part of the Digital Rowing website and can also be visited via a standard web browser at www.digitalrowing.com/oarbits.

RowPro connects to the Online Rowing Server via TCP Port 80. This is the same port your web browser uses to access the Internet, so it's likely you will only need to configure your Internet Firewall to permit RowPro to access the Internet via TCP Port 80.
