X-600M Users Manual Setup Pages
for port forwarding to be set up to allow access to the remote ControlByWeb device.
Other ControlByWeb devices can be configured to connect to the X-600M using remote services through
the Advanced Network tab on that device. The Server Name/IP Address should be that of the X-600M,
the Server Port should be the Remote Services port set on the X-600M, and the connection string
should be of the format “[00:0C:C8:00:00:00]:ControlByWeb,X-320”, where the mac address is the mac
address of the device attempting to connect to the X-600M.
Before the device can communicate with the X-600M, it needs to be added to the device list on the X-
600M under the Device menu page on the X-600M, and it's Ethernet Comm. Type must be set to
Remote Services.
Remote Services Server Setup Enabled:
Remote services server setup is enabled by selecting Yes in this field. The default setting for this
field is No.
Listen Port:
The X-600M will listen for incoming remote services messages on this port. The default is 8000.
4.2.3.4 Network > Advanced Network > Remote Services Client (Configure remote
services client settings)
The X-600M can act as a remote services client just like other ControlByWeb products.
Remote Services initiates the connection to the external web server (rather than the web server initiating
communications to the X-600M). This has two main benefits. First, the web server does not need to
know the IP address of the X-600M. This means that the X-600M can get its IP address dynamically
from a DHCP server, simplifying the installation. Second, since the connection from the X-600M is
outgoing, rather than incoming, the local router on the network where the X-600M resides does not need
to be configured for port forwarding. For more information about the Remote Services see Appendix E:
External Server and Remote Services.
