9.0 Accessing the EM6015 externally and the
use of dynDNS
Sometimes, you can not be on location, but you want to be able to continue monitoring
the spaces the EM6015 is watching. In that case you can access the EM6015 using
the Internet. In order to access the EM6015 through the Internet, you need to know
your WAN IP address.
9.1 Accessing the EM6015 through the Internet
You have to open or forward port 80 and 9000 in your router in order to access the
EM6015 through the Internet. Refer to the manual of your router for these settings.
Once you have made the correct settings, type the following in order to access the
EM6015: http://12.34.56.78 (Where you have to fill in your WAN IP address on the
same spot as the numbers).
Hint: In order to view your WAN IP address, type in your address bar the following:
www.eminent-online.com/ip.
9.2 Using dynDNS
Some ISP’s do chance your WAN IP address once a month or even every week. In
that case, you are not longer able to access the EM6015 externally. In such a case,
the use of dynDNS is the ideal solution: Thanks to dynDNS you can access the
EM6015 externally, no matter if your WAN IP address has changed.
9.2.1 What is dynDNS?
With the use of dynDNS you can link a domain name to your WAN IP address
permanently, even if your WAN IP address has changed. Without this link, you would
lose the connectivity with your network equipment the moment your WAN IP address
has changed.
A big advantage of using dynDNS is the use of a fixed name instead of the use of an
IP address. You only have to remember the self created domain name instead of a
whole number sequence. Also, you network equipment will remain accessible, even if
you WAN IP address has changed. The name, linked to the WAN IP address, will
remain the same. This way, you will always be able to login if you have an Internet
connection available.
