4G connectivity
In the Modem settings it’s possible to setup advanced SIM settings, please check with SIM
provider/ service account setup:
• User/ Password – depending on security requirements
• APN – Access Point Name, depending on the SIM provider and data plan
• PIN – SIM card PIN, 4 digits identification number
Please leave settings blank if your standard data SIM doesn’t require any specific setup.
Confirm the data entry with a click on the connect button and to activate the GSM network
connection.
After the GSM connection was successful you can proceed to the boss application to setup
any email/ SMS or telegram notification following the steps under “IO configuration” and
“Alarm and event management”
Remote access:
The primary function of the build-in 4G modem is for push notifications. The remote access
can be enabled by using a particular SIM/ Data plan to enable a fixed and public IP address.
That option must be added by your service provider to the SIM/ Data plan.
As the build-in 4G modem doesn’t support a Dynamic DNS service it does require a direct
public IP address to browse the boss micro remotely. Additionally the IP address has to be
static, as dynamic IP addresses are getting frequently renewed and will result in a loss of
remote access.
Alternatively the boss micro is fully compatible with our RED – Reliable Enhanced Data
platform and allows also remote access. Thanks to the embedded VPN solution there is no
need for a fixed and public IP address.
In case you’re using a fixed and public IP address, remote access is possible by looking up
the provided IP address in the 4G interface status and using the following URL in your
browser: https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx*/boss *provided Network IP address
