The connection between the
DREAM 2
controller and the
Router
will be by the
External CAT5 cable
demonstrated below. There is an
Internal Ethernet cable
that
goes from the
Mother board
to the
Ethernet Interface card,
this cable is supplied
with the system, the other one is not. When both cables are connected properly, the 3
LEDs on the
Ethernet interface card
D1, D2, D3 are supposed to light with D2 blinking.
At the
System manager/Network
screen we are meant to define some addresses as
detailed below. There are two ways for doing that, the
Auto
mode will automatically detect
the IP, GW and DNS addresses and usually this will be the easiest way to go and there will
be no need for any manual setting. In rare cases
Manual
setting will be required and then
the person in charge of the local network should supply the following information:
The IP address
– This is the address given for the
DREAM 2
within the router, or in other
words, this is the address at which the controller can be found on the Internet.
The GW (GateWay address)
– is the IP address of the router.
The DNS
– it is the address of the
DNS
(
D
omain
N
ame
S
ystem) server to be used for
resolving DNS names into IP addresses.
The Netmask
– should be left unchanged.
The parameters will get into effect after rebooting the controller.
At the Router following outgoing ports must be enabled:
ports 55299-55300 (TCP)
– for controllers login
port 21 (TCP)
– for service update
port 11094 (UDP)
– for open vpn
ports 2001-2004 (TCP)
– for maintenance and service
