• Accessing an EXPLORER 323 that is preconfigured with trusted IP addresses.
The following sections describe these two methods.
To get remote access from a trusted IP address (preconfigured)
Initial local configuration
1. Connect a computer to the EXPLORER 323 and access the web interface locally.
2. Prepare the terminal as described in
To set up remote access with IP
on page 71.
3. Activate a data connection in one of the following ways:
• Automatic Context Activation of a Standard data connection, see
Automatic Context
Activation (ACA)
on page 39.
• Manual activation of a data connection, see
To start and stop data connections
on
page 36.
4. Note the terminal’s external IP address as follows:
In the web interface on the locally connected computer, the external IP address of the
terminal is shown in the tile with the connection you started in the previous step.
This is the IP address you must use afterwards to access the terminal from your remote
computer.
Remote access to web interface:
1. Make sure your remote computer has access to the Internet.
2. On the remote computer, open your web browser.
3. In the address bar of your browser, enter the IP address of the terminal followed by a colon
and the port number
http://<ip address>:<incoming port>
.
• <ip address> is the external IP address of the EXPLORER 323. The external IP address can
only be obtained when a data connection (PDP context) is established. If a data
connection is started. you can get the external IP address with the GETINFO SMS
command, see
• <incoming port> is the port you defined in
To set up remote access with IP
on page 71
(Incoming port for web application, default port 80).
Note
Only one PDP context at a time can be used for remote web interface access.
Note
This method requires that you initially have local access to the EXPLORER 323. If not,
use the
_IREMWEB
command described in the previous section.
Note
If Static IP is included in your airtime subscription, we recommend using this static
public IP address for the terminal in order to provide easy access to the terminal. To
use the static IP address, you must set the APN source to SIM default. For details, see
To change the APN for a connection package
on page 38.
