2. Prepare the terminal as described in Prepare the terminal for remote access with IP on
page 101.
3. Activate a data connection in one of the following ways:
• Automatic Context Activation of a Standard data connection, see Automatic Context
Activation (ACA) on page 81.
• Manual activation of a data connection, see To start or stop a data connection on
page 33.
4. Note the terminal’s external IP address as follows:
In the web interface on the locally connected computer, the external IP address of the
terminal is shown in the tile with the connection you started in the previous step.
This is the IP address you must use afterwards to access the terminal from your remote
computer.
Remote access to web interface:
1. Make sure your remote computer has access to the Internet.
2. On the remote computer, open your web browser.
3. In the address bar of your browser, enter the IP address of the terminal followed by a colon
and the port number
http://<ip address>:<incoming port>.
• <ip address> is the external IP address of the EXPLORER 710. The external IP address can
only be obtained when a data connection (PDP context) is established. If a data
connection is started. you can get the external IP address with the GETINFO SMS
command, see Remote access with SMS on page 37.
• <incoming port> is the port you defined in Prepare the terminal for remote
management on page 100 (Incoming port for web application, default port 80).
Example: If the IP address of the terminal is 161.30.180.12 and the incoming port number
defined in the Remote management page in the web interface is 80, enter
http://161.30.180.12:80.
You should now be connected to the built-in web interface of the terminal.
Note
This method requires that you initially have local access to the EXPLORER 710. If not,
use the _IREMWEB command described in the previous section.
Note
If Static IP is included in your airtime subscription, we recommend using this static
public IP address for the terminal in order to provide easy access to the terminal. To
use the static IP address, you must set the APN source to SIM default. For details, see
To change the APN for a connection package on page 80.
