9.1 Accessing the DL2 Datalogger over the Internet without VBus.net
Note
The DeviceDiscoveryTool cannot be used for nding a DL2 Datalogger
over the Internet.
The following preparations have to be made when a DL2 Datalogger connected to
the Internet via a router is to be accessed over the Internet:
• Assign a static address to the router.
• Carry out port routing in the router.
Assigning a static router address
In order to access the router and the DL2 connected over the Internet, a static
address has to be assigned to the router.
There are 2 different ways to assign a static Internet address to the router:
• Over a dynamic Domain Name Server (DynDNS)
• Over a static Internet IP address

Note
Not all routers support DynDNS services. For further information consult
the router documentation.
It is possible to reserve an Internet address via a DynDNS service provider. Dy-
nDNS services are usually free of charge.
Schematic process representation of using a DynDNS address:
1. Open an account for a DynDNS Internet address at a DynDNS service provid-
er. A DynDNS Internet address and the corresponding access information will
be provided.
2. The DynDNS access information has to be entered into the router, so that the
router can tell the DynDNS service provider where to route enquiries to.
3. In order to access the router via the Internet, the user has to enter the Dy-
nDNS Internet address into the Internet browser.

It is possible to apply for a static Internet IP address at an Internet Service Provider
(ISP). For a static IP address, there usually is a fee required.
Schematic process representation of using a static IP address:
1. Apply for a static IP address at an Internet Service Provider (ISP). A static Inter-
net address and the corresponding access information will be provided.
2. The access information has to be entered into the router, so that the router
can register at the ISP with the static IP address.
3. The router registers at the ISP with the static IP address.
4. In order to access the router via the Internet, the user has to enter the static
Internet address into the Internet browser.
