The RV50 gateway requires a SIM card for access and service.
TAKE NOTE
The NMS044 does
not regulate data usage.
When purchasing a SIM card, you will need:
•
Adequate data plan. Significant charges may occur if the plan is
exceeded.
•
Do not need messaging/voice on the plan
•
Public IP address
TAKE NOTE
Cellular providers
may block incoming
connection requests to a SIM
with a dynamic IP address.
Check with the cellular
provider to assure that
incoming connection
requests are allowed.
•
A public IP address is needed in order to connect
remotely with the 831C. If the plan does not have a
public IP address you will not be able to access and
control the system.
•
A static IP address or alternative dynamic IP with
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) as an alternative
can be used, however with this option you can not
remotely access the system. You will still be able to
upload files to SFTP or Dropbox.
•
APN

Request the APN from your cellular provider. You will
need this to configure for remote use.
