4.2.3 Remote connecting to devices via cloud service
This connection type can be used if the Pager4 device is connected to the cloud. For this,
the APN settings should be configured in the “General” settings menu, and a SIM card with
available mobile Internet service should be installed in the device, which may use either a
public or a private APN, but in the latter case, you have to arrange with the mobile service
provider to open the given private APN for accessing the cloud server IP address at
54.75.242.103, port: 2020.
If the “
Cloud usage
” option is enabled in the “
General
” settings menu, the device will be
continuously online, so it can be accessed anytime over the cloud. If you don’t want to enable
permanent cloud usage due to the data use that it involves, it is possible to command the device
by SMS to connect temporarily to the cloud, about which you can read more in the below.
With this connection type, connection between the device and the
Pager4
programming software
will be established through the cloud server operated by the manufacturer.
The “
System logs
” option of the programming software cannot be used in case of remote
connection over the Internet.
Device name
: from this drop-down menu, you can select the device you want to connect to, if you
have already added the contact details of the given device in the “
Device register
” menu.
Cloud
: the name of the server where the device is connected. The server named “
Cloud
(Adapter2, Pager4, DUALCOM SIA IP)
” is the default. In case of using a proxy, for connecting
remotely to the device, it is possible to configure a server IP address and port number different
from the default server, by adding a new server in the “
Server register
” menu. If there are further
servers recorded, you can choose the appropriate server for the given device in this drop-down
menu from the recorded servers.
Device ID
: the device identifier of the
Pager4
device to which you want to connect to.
The device identifier is unique, burned-in during production, and thereby it cannot be changed.
The device ID format is:
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
(6x2 hexadecimal characters).
You can read the device ID of the given device from the “
Device ID
” section in the “
Status
monitoring
” menu, via USB connection. The device will also send its device ID in the reply to your
request for connecting to the cloud, sent by SMS to the device, about which you can read more
below.
Device password
: the security password of the device (default superadmin password:
1234
).
Save the password
: in case that you have provided the data necessary for connecting to the
device here in the “
Connection parameters
” section, and you enable this option, the program will
also save the entered password in the device register, when you initiate a connection to the device.
