How to set up a mobile Internet connection

Background information
The mobile Internet setup is used to connect a GR/GM Series receiver to the Internet when no direct LAN connection is
possible. A GPRS enabled device is necessary to establish this connection.
Before you begin
In order to connect to the Internet from the GR/GM Series receiver, it is necessary to apply for an APN (access point name)
from your Internet service provider.
Together with the APN, a profile must be assigned to you. This profile is a list of all ports that are open and available for use. It
needs to be activated for each SIM card you want to use for a mobile Internet connection.
When using Email and FTP push, make sure that the relevant SMTP and FTP ports are open. For DynDNS service, either port
80, 8245 or 443 also have to be available. The profile also needs to contain the IP of at least one DNS server that is run by
your provider if you want to use DynDNS
Step-by-step
Step Description
1 Connect a GPRS device to the serial or slot-in port of the receiver.
For more information how to connect a device go to External devices / Working with Radio, Modem and GSM
devices / Slot-in devices.
2
Open the receiver's web interface. Check that the event log states that the GPRS device has been detected.
3 Go to Receiver setup / Network connections. Open the mobile Internet tab.
4 Select the GPRS device from the drop down list. If the used device is not available in the list, open Device
management to create a new, user defined device. For more information on creating a new device see
Device Management: New / Edit modem/phone device.
5 Enter the PIN code of the used SIM card. If the SIM card PIN is disabled, this field can be left blank.
6 Enter the APN, the user name and the password.
7 If a dynamic IP address is used, leave the IP address field set to dynamic. If you have a static IP address,
select static and enter the IP address.
8 Activate the Use as default gateway check box if all data traffic is to be done via the mobile Internet
connection. If activated, all FTP push, streamed data, event email sending and DynDNS updates are done via
the mobile Internet connection.
9
Press Save changes. The mobile Internet configuration is now stored. Check the Event log and the
Status / Network connection page to make sure the mobile internet connection is successfully established.
Please note: The APN profile used for the mobile Internet setup might make it necessary to change the http
port if the default http port is not available. If the http port has been changed, the web interface access then
requires entering the http port with the receivers hostname in the browser window. (e.g.
http://my_receiver.org:5689)
