How to access the DMX interface "D1024W" from outside the local network ?
You can ignore this section if the DMX interface "D1024W" is connected to your local network.
By default your router blocks such access to prevent unauthorized access or hacking, so you have to authorize the access in your router.
As example to help you to do this procedure, this video shows how to open the ports for the game "Minecraft" on the router "TP-Link": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtkOeZ907p0 . You have to adapt this procedure on your router with the following port details: port number = 7349 (default port) ; protocol = UDP.
Then, it is important to know that the function "Autodetect interfaces" in our software and "D1024W" app is not able to autodetect a device which is outside of the local network, so you have to manualy enter the public IP address assigned to your home by your internet provider.
