Configuration & installation when NETRS232 is internal:
NOTE: All steps assume the NETRS232 has already been configured
and is working on a public IP address.
1. Obtain the IP address of the gateway/router that the NETRS232
is located behind.
2. To configure the NETRS232 yourself you will need to
reconfigure the gateway/router to allow HTTP port redirection
to the NETRS232 to access the embedded web page of the
NETRS232.To do this please consult either your system
administrator or the technical documentation that
accompanied your gateway/router. If you would rather not turn
on HTTP port redirection you can easily have another user with
direct access to the NETRS232 perform the next three steps.
3. Open the embedded web page of the NETRS232 from your
browser by typing in its IP address, or the IP address of the
gateway/router, in the address bar.
4. Ensure the port(s) to create the WAN activation on are
configured for "Driver Mode".
5. Record the TCP port number of the port(s) to be accessible.
6. Close your browser.
7. With the IP address and TCP port number(s) of the NETRS232 in
mind, enable port forwarding on your gateway/router for each
port to be made remotely accessible.This will require you to
create a port forwarding association between the IP
address/TCP ports on the NETRS232 and the TCP ports on the
gateway/router (i.e. A rule specifying that all incoming
connections received by the gateway/router on TCP port x will
be forwarded internally to IP address 192.168.0.35 and x).To do
this please consult either your system administrator or the
technical documentation that accompanied your
gateway/router.
NOTE 1: Every TCP port that is accessible externally MUST be
unique and may not be shared between multiple internal
targets.
