2.2.11.2.- CirDNS System
CirDNS
is a proprietary system that has been designed to invert
the role of the remote device connection process. The devices
start the communication process with the remote connections
server, by creating a transparent communications tunnel
between the device and connection server. Therefore, the
user avoids having to hire and maintain a fixed IP system or
DynDNS
in its remote control locations.
Once the connections have been received by a central
computer, said connections are shared by a local DNS name
server, hosted in a machine with the software supplied with
the EDS device.
2.2.11.2.1. CirDNS - host
Enter the name with which the local DNS name server will be
identified when it is connected to the central server. For
example, when configuring
EDS001
when it is connected to the
main server, the server will identify it with the local DNS name
(after the name server has been installed - refer to the CirDNS
user manual).
The cursor is enabled with the
Scroll RIGHT
key, and the
Scroll
up
and
Scroll down
buttons can be used to establish the
parameters of an alphanumeric data entry. Validate the data
by pressing the
Scroll down
key.
2.2.11.2.2. CirDNS - password
An authentication password can be activated in the CirDNS
system installed on the server to provide access to the remote
devices machine. In this case, the EDS-3G units that wish to
connect to the machine must have an access password
established for such purposes.
The cursor is enabled with the
Scroll RIGHT
key, and the
Scroll
up
and
Scroll down
buttons can be used to establish the
parameters of an alphanumeric data entry. Validate the data
with the
Scroll down
key.
2.2.11.2.3. CirDNS - server
Enter the destination IP or DNS name where the device will
be actively connected. This is an alphanumeric field.
The cursor is enabled with the
Scroll RIGHT
key, and the
Scroll
up
and
Scroll down
buttons can be used to establish the
parameters of an alphanumeric data entry. Validate the data
with the
Scroll down
key.
2.2.11.2.4. CirDNS - port
Enter the port used to access the central server, where the
CirDNS
connections software was installed. This computer
must have an access port used to connect all remote devices,
in order to establish a transparent communications tunnel.
In this case, access to the Internet connection from the central
location will require the use of a connection router, which will
establish a NAT access rule to activate a UDP connection port
in the connection server (connection path).
An access port must be activated in the Internet access
router, which will internally transfer the public communication
frames to the
CirDNS
internal connection server and to a port
specified by and known to the user.
2.2.12.- Enable Security
A user and edition password can be activated in the device,
thus avoiding modification of the configuration parameters.
The device displays
NO
by default. It should be pointed out that
if the password is activated, it will be present in all the
device's configuration and display accesses (keyboard, Web
configuration and internal applications).
To modify the option displayed on screen,
Scroll RIGHT
until
the option
YES
appears. Do this twice and the device cyclically
displays both options until one of them is validated. Establish
the parameters for the alphanumeric data entry with the
Scroll
up
and
down
buttons, up to 20 digits corresponding to the
user
,
and when the data is validated, repeat the operation with the
password
. Validate the data (
Scroll right
and
scroll down
).
2.2.13.- Confirm Changes -

The information must be validated to save the configuration.
The device displays
yes
by default. When the completed
configuration is validated, press the
scroll down
key and the
device saves the data and leaves configuration.
If the configuration is not saved,
Scroll RIGHT
until the
no
option
appears. Do this twice and the device cyclically displays both
options until one of them is validated with the
scroll down
key
2.2.14.- Client ID -

2.2.15.1.- Ping system
To confirm IP connectivity via a Local Area Network (LAN) or
the Internet using a DSL or 3G router, the user sometimes has
to know if the EDS-3G device has this IP access or if the unit
has particular access to a certain host.
To do so, EDS-3G has a
PING
, section, from which the user
can carry out an IP connectivity test with an IP address or
name, emulating the ping command of a conventional
operating system.
The device displays the physical address within the setup
menu, as shown in section
address. Press the
SCROLL RIGHT
key to go to the on-screen caption
HOST PING
. To
enter the name or IP address to carry out the ping test, press
the
Scroll RIGHT
key to enable the edit cursor on the first digit.
Press this key and the
Scroll down
and
Scroll up
buttons to
establish the parameters of an alphanumeric data entry of up
to 20 digits. After the data is entered, press the
Scroll RIGHT
key twice until the edit key disappears, and then validate the
data with the
Scroll down
key.
When the data is validated, the screen displays the
DOING PING
caption and will then show the results:
-
PING RESULT: OK -
a response was obtained from the host
-
PING RESULT: time out -
no response was obtained from
the host
When a result is obtained by the device, press the
Scroll down
key and the device goes back to the by default display
screens.
2.2.16.- Acquired IP and coverage
Once the unit has been connected to the Internet, two
sensitive variables must be known by the user or integrator,
which are the IP acquired by the mobile phone telephony
provider and the coverage signal the unit is connected to.
Press the
Scroll right
and
Scroll left
keys at the same time
and the unit will display on the screen the IP acquired by the
operator and the connection coverage. Said coverage can
oscillate from -113 dBm to -51 dBm. The latter is considered
as the value with the highest coverage.
These values may be known by accessing the following
website:
-
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/html/modem-status.html
-
http://dhcp_name/html/modem-status.html
Where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
is the IP address assigned by the user
Where
dhcp_name
is the name assigned and authenticated
by the name server of the local area network (LAN) or a DNS
server in case of using a DynDNS system to connect to the
Internet.
2.2.17.- Internal configuration web site
After establishing the parameters with the keyboard and
connecting to the Ethernet, or even from the unit's Internet
connection, the device has a configuration web site where the
user can fully modify the data entered with the keyboard. The
configuration web site is at the http address below:
-
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/html/setup.html
-
http://dhcp_name/html/setup.html
Where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
is the IP address assigned by the user
Where
dhcp_name
is the name assigned and authenticated
by the name server of the local area network (LAN) or a DNS
server in case of using a DynDNS system to connect to the
Internet.
2.3.- Network parameters configuration
(Software)
Configuration of addressing can be done in the same way as
using the keyboard via the
IPSetup.exe
file, available on a
CD supplied with the device.
2.3.1.- Fixed IP assignment
To assign a fixed IP address, enter the MAC address
displayed on the device screen as shown in section 2.2.1.-
MAC address address, the format of which is

fields have been enabled, enter the
MAC
address.
In the
Address
field, enter an unused, temporary IP address,
which is within the working range of your computer. In the
Host Name
field, enter the DHCP name to be assigned to the
equipment. Optionally, the user can configure the parameters
of the
ClientID
field. The default
VendorID
of the device is
CIRCUTOR
.
2.3.3.- Configuration web site
Once connection to the Local Area Network (LAN) is
established and the IP address or DHCP name is configured,
the device has an internal web site where the user can fully
modify all the network configuration parameters (0 Where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address assigned by the user
is the name assigned and authenticated
Internal configuration web site), and even the time and date
data.
