“Unique local network DNS entry” is unique device domain name in the local network. You can access the
device using this unique address entry even if there are multiple steamers in the same network. Use the following
domain name:
http://<serial>.local
Where <serial> is the unit’s 16 symbols length serial number located on the label of bottom device side. You
can see the example of such URL in the figure 19.
“User-specified local network DNS entry” – user assigned domain name for accessing the device WEB
control interface. Ensure that only one device exists in the same network with the same user specified local
network DNS entry. Otherwise accessing the WEB control interface by address
http://iptv.local
(or other user
assigned name) will not work.
Be sure to prefix the domain name with
http://
as some browsers may simply redirect you to a search engine.
This protocol is supported by Windows and macOS, iOS. It is NOT supported on Android and Linux.
5.7.2 Remote access
Device supports UPnP router management so that the router can be configured to allow remote connections
just with a single click.
Figure 20. UPnP router management.
“Local port“ is the device internally used port.
“External port“ is a port number used to access the device remotely or receiving video streams.
“Streaming port” is a port number used for video streaming. External streaming port value should be equal to
local streaming port value. Otherwise “Terra TV” app or third-party video players may not work correctly.
“WEB port“ is the device control port number. Enable this port to access the device WEB interface remotely.
Also enable this port to use “Terra TV“ Android app remotely.
The “Debug port” can only be used if you have a problem and ask the Support for help to resolve it.
Otherwise, keep it off.
An “External IP address” is an IP address which can be used to access the device remotely. When you start
your device for the first time, it will try to set this address automatically (connection to the internet is required).
Also, after successful UPnP configuration, this IP address is read from the router. You can change this IP
address manually if you think the value displayed here is incorrect.
NOTE: use the following IP address template to access the device remotely:
http://<external_IP_adress>:<external_WEB_port>
When you click the “Update”, the device will try to enable / disable the selected ports on network router. The
status indicator icons will show the progress of the operation. Hovering over the status icon will display more
status information.
5.7.3 HTTPS
The user interface of the device can be accessed via the secure HTTPS protocol. Requirement for HTTPS:
• Device must have internet access to automatically renew the certificate;
• Device must be accessed using a domain URL (not IP address);
Domain name created for each device contains the unique serial number. See “HTTPS URL” in Figure 21.
Use this field value to access the device securely.
