ioLogik 2500 Series
Cellular Network Setup and Configuration (for cellular models)
6-11
With DDNS (for SCADA/HMI users)
In addition to using MX-AOPC Server to register an ioLogik ioLogik 2500-GPRS/HSPA with SCADA over a
dynamic IP cellular connection, you may also use DDNS to configure the device with a unique URL. The
ioLogik 2500-GPRS/HSPA can be configured to register a DNS hostname (i.e. – URL) with DDNS, and
thereby convert a dynamic IP to a publicized address. In this way, centralized control software will be able
to connect to the remote ioLogik 2500 GPRS/HSPA without requiring a fixed IP or VPN service from a
network provider.
Moxa Cellular Data Access Utility (for mobile devices/PCs)
With the Moxa cellular data access utility, you can configure the ioLogik 2500-GPRS/HSPA using the
IOxpress utility over the cellular network. You can also log on to selected ioLogik 2500 devices by using a
specific URL port. In this section, we explain how to use these two methods to connect devices.

GPRS/HSPA over a cellular network. Cellular Data Access Utility can be used from anywhere on the network
