Port Forwarding
WARNING: Care should be taken when opening ports as this can
leave the router vulnerable to malicious attacks.
To allow the system to communicate with the outside world, and
vice versa, port forwarding must be enabled on the router for the
ComIP
. The below example is typical, however please check you
routers documentation or the manufacturers website for more
information. This will be required in order to use the app remotely.
To setup Port Forwarding do the following.
•
Connect to the Router
•
Look for settings for "Forwarding”, or "Port Forwarding" these
could be under advanced settings, or in the Firewall settings.
Each manufacturer is different.
Once you have found the option you will have something like this.
•
Add a new rule using the
ComIP
IP address and Port Number
you used earlier.
Some routers may require use of the MAC address to allow
port forwarding. Please check with the manufacturer’s
documentation or website for details.

Remote Connections (WAN)
Before attempting to connect to the system from a remote location,
please read the section on Port Forwarding, this will need to be
done to allow access from outside of the LAN.
Fixed IP address (Uncommon)
If you have a fixed IP address internet connection, complete all of
the details above, BUT replace the
Host Address
with the Fixed IP
address provided by the Internet Service Provider.
Dynamic IP Address (most common)
It is most likely that you have a Dynamic IP address assigned by the
service provider. This basically allows the Local system to connect
to the outside world (Internet WAN), and can change frequently.
Because of the nature of Dynamic addresses you will need a third
party service to manage the IP address to ensure you can always
connect to the system.
You should search for a
Dynamic DNS
service provider, who may
or may not charge a fee for the service. Once you have the service
the
Host Address
will be replaced by the details given to you by the
DDNS provider. Without this service Wintex will not work remotely.
Texecom mobile app's (Not Connect)
Texecom
mobile apps can be used to access the system either
remotely or locally. The apps are supported on iOS & Android
devices and can be downloaded from the respective app stores. All
