Establish cellular service
For better security, we recommend using Konect PakBus® Router with a private dynamic IP address. This method allows only incoming PakBus communications. No other incoming communications are supported. However, all forms of outbound communications from the data logger are supported, including but not limited to PakBus, email, and FTP.
When the data logger is connected to both Ethernet and a cellular modem, IPRoute()
may be used to specify which interface to use for the outbound communications, such as email, FTP, and HTTP.
A public static IP address can also be used. This provides more incoming communications functionality, but is less secure and more vulnerable to unsolicited traffic.
A public static IP account must be used when the module is set up in serial server mode. Private dynamic IP accounts do not support the serial server mode.
