Get an APN profile from your Internet Service provider:
In order to connect to the Internet from your receiver, you need to get the APN from your provider and also a list
of all ports that are open and available for use. This profile needs to be activated for each SIM card you want to
use for Internet access on your receiver. When using Email and FTP push, make sure that the relevant SMPT
and FTP ports are open. Also for DynDNS service, either port 80, 8245 or 443 have to be available. The profile
also needs to contain the IP of at least one DNS server that is run by your provider.
By default, port 80 (outbound) is used when discovering the receiver's externally visible IP address.
Unfortunately many firewall and proxy setups block this port. To bypass this problem, port 8245 is normally used

for accessing checkip.dyndns.org. Please and make sure this port is open.
GR/GM receivers offer 3 choices of DynDNS hosting services. The access ports for these are as follows:
•
DynDNS.com 8245
•
No-ip.com 8245
•
Two-DNS.de 80
Please make sure the appropriate ports are open depending on which service you are using.
Apply correct port numbers: After you received a list of the available ports, go to Receiver setup / Web server

and change the HTTP port accordingly. Also the FTP control port and data port range might need to be changed.
Connect a GRPS phone to the receiver: To connect to the Internet via GPRS please refer to Receiver setup /

Description
To use the DynDNS service, it is necessary to have a DNS server installed in same network as
the receiver. A DNS server can find the IP address assigned to a hostname. This is necessary
because although the DNS server knows the hostname of the DynDNS service, the IP address of
the service can change. The DNS server makes it possible to find the DynDNS server IP address,
thus allowing access to the DynDNS service.
You need to register for a DynDNS account to use this functionality. The GR/GM receiver allows
the use of the three most common DynDNS services on the Internet. At registration enter the
hostname you want your receiver to be accessed with. Enable wildcard use. Mail exchanger
functionality is not necessary.
To use the full web interface functionality you need to apply for an APN profile that includes the
APN (access point name) and a list of open ports from your provider. Make sure that for Email
and FTP push, the required ports from your SMTP and FTP server are available. Also make sure
to change the HTTP port (Receiver setup / Web server), the FTP control port and FTP data
port range (Receiver setup / FTP server) to those open ports available from your provider.
