Step 3: Connect to Your Universal Time Clock over the Internet
After configuring your router to forward your time clock’s IP address to port 80 or port 9844, follow the steps below to connect to
the clock through the Internet.
Look up your external/public IP address in one of the following ways;(skip to step 2 if you already know the
1.
external/public IP address provided by your ISP)
On a computer on the same network as your clock go to
www.ipchicken.com
. Your external/public IP address
will be displayed on the page.
Log into your router and look at your router's settings for the WAN (Wide Area Network) address.
From the remote location, type the external/public IP address into a browser’s address bar.
2.
If you are forwarding to port 9844, log onto the time clock using your external/public IP address followed by
:9844
and
preceded by
http://
.
Example:
http://68.213.205.154:9844
68.213.205.154 is the external IP Address.
9844 is the port forwarded to the clock.
