4.2.4 Remote connecting to devices via peer-to-peer connection
This connection type can only be used in a private APN, or through a virtual private network
(VPN) connected to the given private APN. In case of using a private APN, sending and
receiving data between the SIM cards in the given APN should be enabled. The SIM card
installed in the Pager4 device you wish to connect remotely to, should have a static IP
address and should be part of the given private APN, respectively VPN, just like the
computer from which you wish to connect to the device. If the computer is not part of the
given private APN through VPN, then you can connect to the device trough a mobile
Internet stick connected to the computer, in which you have to use a SIM card that is part
of the given private APN. Also, the APN settings should be configured in the device you
wish to connect to. These settings are available in the “General” settings menu.
*For connecting directly to the WiFi product model from outside the local network,
configuring port forwarding is required in your router, and the static WAN IP address of the
router should be used in the software. The device uses port 6789 and UDP protocol.
Otherwise, you can only access the device in the local network using its local IP address.
With this connection type, a direct (peer-to-peer) connection will be established between the
device and the
Pager4
programming software.
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.
Network
: the name of the network used for connecting to the device. The program contains
a built-
in network name “
Peer-to-peer
”, which can be used as the default. If needed, you can add
further network names in the “
Server register
” menu, which you can use to organize your devices
(e.g. you can configure a different network name for the local and the remote connections of your
WiFi devices).
Device IP address
: the static IP address of the device you want to connect to. You can read the
device IP address of the given device from the “
IP address
” section in the “
Status monitoring
”
menu, via USB connection.
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.
