Chapter 3: Operating the system
Accessing the terminal from a remote location
Preparing the terminal for remote management
There are three steps you must go through before you can access the terminal
from a remote location:
1. Set up the terminal for control from a remote location as described in
Remote management on page 185.
2. Activate a data connection in one of the following ways:
• Remote start of a data connection with an SMS, see Remote activation
on page 187 and Activating a data connection with an SMS below.
• Automatic activation of a Standard data connection, see step 11 on
page 147 in Setting up the network user groups.
• Manual activation of a data connection, see Start/stop Standard IP on
the LAN interface on page 68.
3. Note the terminal's external IP address, found in one of the following ways:
• If you are using SMS activation, you will receive an SMS with the IP
address.
• Otherwise, connect a computer locally to the terminal and start the web
interface. The IP address of the terminal is shown in the Dashboard
under ONGOING DATA SESSIONS (in parenthesis).
This is the IP address you must use afterwards to access the terminal.
If Static IP is included in your airtime subscription, we recommend
Note
using this static public IP address for the terminal in order to provide
easy access to the terminal. For information on how to set up the
terminal to use the static IP address from your subscription, refer to
step 7 on page 146 in the section Editing a network user group.
