3.2 Connecting to the MR3000SB in the field (remote connection)
For a remote connection (from your office to the SB at site) you need Internet access and you have
to enable the OpenVPN or DDNS service.
You can use an existing Internet access point at site (DSL, cable TV line, ...) and you simply
connect the MR3000SB with the router using the LAN/FO cable – as you would do in your office. If
the router has the DHCP feature enabled – and you have enabled it in the SB as well, the router
will assign an IP address to the SB. You may check the Internet connectivity with the PING feature
(see Section 5.3.10).
As the SB is not accessible through the IP address, you will have to enable the DDNS or the
OpenVPN service to communicate to your SB through the WebUI. To establish communication with
the MR3000SB you have to enter the Domain Name (DDNS) or the virtual address (OpenVPN) in
the Web browser. For OpenVPN you have to install the OpenVPN client on your PC (or
smartphone) with the appropriate certificates, as well. To communicate with the SB, you have to
start the VPN service on the PC.
For a remote connection (from the control room to the SB at site location), you need to be
connected to the same intranet network. Then, with the intranet IP addresses you can easily
remotely connect to any SB devices in the same intranet.
