Remote access via the internet. Lupus Electronics LUPUSEC-XT1

Remote access via the internet

The LUPUSEC-XT1 enables you to retrieve and control the status of the entire system via the internet or an iPhone/iPad or Android mobile phone. Even the pictures form your LUPUS cameras or recorders can be shown at a central interface.

To be able to access the XT1 via the internet, check the following item beforehand:

1.

Is the alarm system connected to the router and do you have access from your local computer?

If no, please proceed according to the chapter “Connect the control unit”.

2.

Did you create a fixed address for the internet access in your account at our website www.lupus-electronics.de

? Example: mueller.lupus-ddns.de



If no, please refer to the description of our DDNS service below. Alternatively, you can use any other provider such as www.dyndns.com and www.no-ip.de

or let your internet provider assign you with a fixed IP address.



If yes, open the XT1 website and go to the menu “Network”  “DDNS”. Enter your DDNS data accordingly in the DDNS menu at the LUPUS website.

If your router is state-of-the-art and supports UPnP, you can activate the service in the “UPnP” menu of the XT1:

If your router does not support or has not activated UPnP, an error message is displayed.

Now you can access the system from the browser of your PC, laptop, or mobile phone as in the following example: http://mueller.lupus-ddns.de: 53080

If your does not support UPnP, open the configuration menu of the router:

In most of the cases, open the login page of your router by entering your standard gateway address (gateway to the internet) in the web browser.

You get this gateway IP address through Windows Clients by clicking on Start and

55

then entering “CMD” in the “Execute” or “Search” text box (alternatively Windows key

+ R). A panel opens, in which you enter “ipconfig“. The result is the overview of your network adapters, the associated IP addresses, and the standard gateway.

Search the configuration menu in the router, which is usually located in the network settings, to create a port forwarding (NAT). For a port forwarding, the (local) IP or the name of the security firm control center, the external port (in our example: 53080) and the internal port 80 (not editable) of the control unit room must be entered.

In case of a Fritz-Box, the menu is located at “Internet”  “Clearance”.

If you executed both entries – DDNS and port forwarding – correctly, you should now be able to access the XT1 from the outside (internet) using your DDNS address in a web browser.

A browser entry may look as follows: http://mydyndnsname.homeip.de:externalportnumber or: http://mueller.lupus-ddns.org:53080

Note:



To access the control unit via the internet, it is required that your ISP (Internet

Service Provider) supplies you with a unique IP address. Access / port forwarding via cells / AP (UMTS / LTE etc.) may not be possible and should be clarified with the ISP beforehand.



If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact our support service at any time (+49 (0) 63 41 - 93 55 30).
