Remote Connection & Push Notifications 

For remote Connections it is highly recommended that you enable push notifications. 
This will mean that 

Texecom

 will track the IP address and update it as required. If the 

service provider does not provide you with a fixed IP address (most don't) you will 
require a third party DDNS provider to allow the app to operate remotely if you do not 
"Enable" push notifications.  

 

Port Forwarding must be setup on the router to allow remote connections. Please see
