Can I use the Remote Access feature if the C-more panel is inside a Firewall?
Yes. In order to access C-more inside a firewall/router remotely, either a VPN connection must be used or “Port forwarding” must be set up in the router to allow the C-more Web server and Remote Access application to get through. When a TCP/IP message is sent to a router, it reads both the destination IP address (public IP address) in the message and the destination port number. If the destination IP address is the correct address for the router, the router then looks at the port number to determine whether it should allow this message and where to route this message. This is done by configuring a “Port forwarding” table within the router configuration. The router will change the destination IP address of the message to the local IP address specified by the “Port Forwarding” table. In order to access the Remote Access application in C-more, you have to connect to the Web server first, so two port numbers will need to be specified in the Port Forwarding table for each C-more panel that
