R704       *Only use allowed ports and bandwidth to communicate with the ROBOT. Communication between the ROBOT and the OPERATOR CONSOLE may not exceed the following and is restricted to network ports listed in Table 8‑5:

A.      7.0Mbits/second for Vivid Hosting wireless bridge radios

B.      4.0Mbits/second for OpenMesh radios

Table 8‑5 Open FMS ports

Port

Designation

Bi-directional?

UDP/TCP 1180-1190

Camera data from the roboRIO to dashboard software when the camera is connected the roboRIO via USB

Yes

TCP 1735

SmartDashboard

Yes

UDP 1130

Dashboard-to-ROBOT control data

Yes

UDP 1140

ROBOT-to-Dashboard status data

Yes

HTTP 80

Camera connected via switch on the ROBOT

Yes

HTTP 443

Camera connected via switch on the ROBOT

Yes

UDP/TCP 554

Real-Time Streaming Protocol for h.264 camera streaming

Yes

UDP/TCP 1250

CTRE Diagnostics Server

Yes

UDP/TCP 5800-5810

Team use

Yes

Teams may use these ports as they wish if they do not employ them as outlined above (i.e. TCP 1180 can be used to pass data back and forth between the ROBOT and the Driver Station Software if the team chooses not to use the camera on USB).

Note that the 4.0Mbit limit will be strictly enforced by the wireless bridge.

The FMS Whitepaper has more details on how to check and optimize bandwidth usage.

While FIRST makes every effort to provide a wireless environment that allows teams access to a full 4.0Mbits/second data rate (with about 100.0Kbit used for ROBOT control and status), at some events wireless conditions may not accommodate this.

Similar Rules

Rule R703
R703       *Use specific Ethernet port for roboRIO. The roboRIO Ethernet port must be connected as specified:
Rule R702
R702       *Communicate with the ROBOT with the specified radio. 1 Vivid Hosting wireless bridge (P/N: VH-109, WCP-1538), that has been configured with the appropriate encryption key for your team number at each event, is the only permitted device for communicating to and from the ROBOT during the MATCH. Events held in China are the exceptions to this rule and must use an OpenMesh (P/N: OM5P-AN or OM5P-AC) radio.
Rule R707
R707       *Limited wireless allowed. The only forms of wireless communication that may be used to communicate to, from, or within the ROBOT, include:
Rule R903
R903       *Connect FMS Ethernet directly to the OPERATOR CONSOLE. Devices hosting the Driver Station Software must only interface with the FMS via the Ethernet cable provided at the DRIVER STATION (e.g. not through a switch). Teams may connect the FMS Ethernet cable to the device running the Driver Station Software directly via an Ethernet pigtail, or with a single-port Ethernet converter (e.g. docking station, USB-Ethernet converter, Thunderbolt-Ethernet converter, etc.). The Ethernet port on the OPERATOR CONSOLE must be easily and quickly accessible.
