Accessing the Gateway from outside the firewall
In order to access the Gateway from outside the network firewall there are two issues: the IP address
will be different than on the local network and the router must be configured to forward port requests
to the Gateway – this is called Port Forwarding.
When accessing the Gateway on the internal network it is usually assigned an IP address something like
192.168.x.y. Where x is usually 0 or 1 and y is a number from 2 to 250. These are the usual numbers
but what is used on your network depends upon how the network was configured.
Outside the firewall Instead of that IP address the connection will be made to the IP address of the DSL
or cable modem. That IP address is assigned by whatever ISP used and often can change from day to
day. Because of that a good idea is to use a dynamic IP service like dyndns.org. These services give you
a name – like myhomenest.dyndns.org that is translated to the IP address of your DSL or cable modem.
Tip: www.DynDNS.org
Configuring DynDNS is beyond the scope of this user guide. There are excellent references on the
internet for this. For the Gateway, in UPStart, PulseWorx-App and the other remote applications you
can enter in to their settings either an IP address (a.b.c.d) or the name you selected from the DynDNS
facility. For example:
