Linx
Chapter 2: StrideLinx Cloud 2.0
Getting Started:
Establish a VPN connection
1. Open the StrideLinx Portal, which is accessible via the Apps menu
corner when logged into your StrideLinx account.
2. Open the main menu
press [Connect] in the VPN section.
3. The router's status will change from "online" to "connected", and its indicator turns blue.
NOTE: Unable to connect? If you see an error at the bottom of your screen,
please refer to Troubleshooting in Appendix B of this manual or the online
troubleshooting article at the link to the right.
Success!
All traffic to the machine network will now be routed through StrideLinx Cloud and you will
be able to access devices behind the router as if they were connected directly to your PC.
Here are a few things to keep in mind regarding VPN connections:
• If your software allows you to select a specific network adapter to connect to your
machine, you may have to select the TAP Windows Adapter.
• Your PC can only make one VPN connection at a time, but you can connect to all the
machines attached to that VPN router.
• Each user account can connect to one router and from one PC or mobile device at a
time.
• Multiple users, on different devices, can connect to the same VPN router at once,
but your machine or software may restrict connections to a single user.
Where to go from here?
• The rest of this chapter covers managing your devices, companies, users, and access
permissions, and remote access to your equipment.
• See Chapter 4 for the optional Data Logging features
• See Chapter 5 for the optional Notification features
