3. Create a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) URL we can use to access the modem remotely without needing to know its IP Address Please consult the instruction manual of your IP camera before proceeding, as different cameras may operate in different ways. If you have any queries regarding the eSAM, please contact Intercel technical support at intercel@intercel.com.au.

In this section we will configure an eSAM to be easily accessed over the internet. 1. Use your web browser to connect to the eSAM. By default, this can be done by connecting your computer to the eSAM’s Ethernet port and entering the IP Address http://192.168.1.1 into your web browser.

4. Open the ‘Security>Remote Access’ screen. Enable WEB Access. Telnet and SSH are not required for this guide, so we can leave them disabled. Press ‘Save’ to save the settings. 5. Open the ‘Status>Modem’ screen. Please confirm that your modem has been assigned a public IP address. Public IP Addresses are any addresses that are not in any of the following ranges: 10.x.x.x 192.x.x.x...

6. Copy the IP Address from step 5 and paste it into your URL bar. Press enter to access the modem using its public IP. You should now be able to unplug the modem from your computer and still access it.

Please reboot the modem after changing the IP, to avoid confusing any devices already connected to it. Note: It is possible to change the IP Address of the controller – in this case you will have to set the eSAM to match whichever IP was manually entered. Please contact Intercel technical support at intercel@intercel.com.au...

2. Next, we will set the eSAM to use a different port for remote access. This means that port 80, which the eSAM is using by default, can be used by the Danfoss controller instead. You could set the controller to use whichever port you like – for this example, I will use Port 8080 for the eSAM and port 80 for the Controller.

3. Now that the camera and modem can communicate, we can add a port forwarding rule to forward traffic from the modem’s internet-facing IP address to the controllers local IP address. Open the ‘Forward> NAT’ screen Press the ‘Add’ Button. According to the user manual for the AK-SM 800, we will need to forward 4 ports: We do this by adding a rule for each port we want to forward.

Once all these rules are entered and saved, your port forwarding table will look like this: At this point you should be able to access the controller remotely through the eSAM, using the public IP Address of the modem.
Page 11
At this point, we can remotely access both the controller and the modem using the IP Address of the Modem. However, if the modem is reset its IP address may change and we will be unable to access it. To prevent this from becoming a problem, we will use the Dynamic DNS (DDNS) functionality built into the modem combined with a free service called Duck DNS.

3. Enter the name of the sub-domain you want to use into the ‘domains’ box, and then press ‘add domain’. 4. Note down the following information from the DuckDNS page. These values will have to be entered into the eSAM. i.

1. Log into your eSAM, and open the ‘Applications > DDNS’ screen 2. Enter the following settings into the DDNS Screen: a. Select duckdns from the service provider dropdown. b. Enter the token copied from the earlier step into the Token Field. c.

4. Once your eSAM is provided with the correct settings, it will update the IP on Duck DNS to match your IP. You can monitor this happening using DuckDNS or your modem’s log. You will then be able to access the modem using the Ducks DNS Domain.
Page 15
Having followed these steps, the following solution is now implemented: The modem can be accessed remotely using a public duckdns domain ‘intercel1.duckdns.org’, or whichever other duckdns domain name you choose to register. Using port 8080 through the domain ‘intercel1.duckdns.org:8080’ we can remotely access the UI of the modem.
