Configuring mobile
Internet and DynDNS
step-by-step
Connections - All other connections
1.
The first restriction is on the outgoing ports. When the GS is trying to
access checkip.dyndns.org it uses port 8245. For using two-dns.de, an
alternative to DynDNS.com, port 80 is needed additionally. It is impor-
tant that ports 8245 and possibly 80 are open for outgoing connec-
tions, depending on which service you use.
2.
The second restriction is for incoming connections. If you managed to
connect to DynDNS.com and associate your IP address with your host-
name, you could theoretically connect to it using the hostname. In prac-
tise, you can run into the problem of ports not being open.
Most likely your ISP has closed the standard ports - port 80 for web inter-
face access or port 21 for FTP access.
In order to access the Internet with a mobile device/SIM card, you need an
Access Point Name, a user name and a password and a list of open
incoming ports.
Imagine this APN like a subnet for your phone that your ISP can configure,
for example what external networks, services, open ports are available.
Usually when you use mobile devices/SIM cards from the same ISP, the
APN is the same for all these devices.
The open ports you can use when providing RTK data from your GS are
defined by this APN profile. This means besides the APN, user name and
password, you must also ask your ISP for a list of open ports. These open
ports can then be configured on the GS for the Base RTK 1 and Base RTK
2 interface. All other ports on the GS cannot be configured/changed.
Ask for a list of open ports for the APN you want to use before con-
figuring your DynDNS setup.
1.
Contact your Internet service provider and ask for the APN profile for
your mobile device/SIM card. You receive a document listing all open
ports for your APN.
