Port Forwarding; Dynamic Dns Forwarding - Agrowtek GrowControl GC-Pro Operation Manual

Port Forwarding

In order to access the controller from the internet, or outide of the local area network, the network router port forwarding
must be configured. The GC-Pro controller requires TCP port 502 to be forwarded to the IP addresses of the controllers on the
network.
The sample below shows two GC-Pro controllers on one network; "GC-Pro #1" with IP address 192.168.1.99 and "GC-Pro #2"
with address 192.168.1.96.
Both controllers have TCP port 502 forwarded to them from the router (internal port.)
The "External Port" can be left as 502 as shown with "GC-Pro #1," or can be modified to any port number desired as shown
with "GC-Pro #2" set to external port 3000.
Settings to connect to each controller:
"GC-Pro #1" Ethernet Settings

Dynamic DNS Forwarding

If your internet service is provided with a static IP address, your controller can be acessed by simply entering your IP address
into the 'remote address' field. If you have a dynamic IP address (like most internet connections,) you will need to use a
dynamic dns service to generate a web address for your dynamic IP; Agrowtek recommends DynDNS.org. Follow the
instructions on the dynamic dns provider's website.
1. Enter the URL web address from your DNS service into the 'remote address' field.
For example: greengrower.dyndns.org ("greengrower" is the dyndns user name.)
2. Make sure the port number is correct; 502 is default. (Port forwarding must be properly setup in your router.)
3. Press "Connect" (in the Ethernet connection box.)
