Click "Send running Config" in the operation column of the "Routers/Gateways" page.



4. Using the Client

InConnect automatically creates a secure connection channel for the connected router. You can install and configure the client on a local PC or a mobile phone to access the secure connection channel. Then, you can use the virtual IP address to remotely access the router and its downstream devices, implementing remote access and control of onsite devices.


4.1 Installing and Using OpenVPN in Windows

1. Download the OpenVPN client to InConnect and install the client.


2. In the Users list of InConnect, download the configuration file.


3. Run the OpenVPN GUI as administrator. Right-click the icon  in the lower-right corner, and choose Import file from the shortcut menu to import the configuration file to the OpenVPN client.


4. Click Connect. When the icon turns green , the current user is connected to the secure connection channel.

5. Test whether the virtual IP address of the router can be accessed.

  1. The IP address cannot be pinged if Windows Defender Firewall is enabled. It is recommended that you disable the firewall or enable ICMP first.


  1. Open Command Prompt of Windows, and ping the router’s virtual IP address 10.16.0.3. You can obtain the virtual IP address by dragging the scroll bar on the Sites page of InConnect.
  2. If the IP address can be pinged, the current user is connected to the remote router, as shown in the figure below.



4.2 Installing and Using OpenVPN in Android

1. Scan the QR code in InConnect to download the OpenVPN client of the Android edition.

 

2. Install the client. The running page is as follows:

3. Download the OpenVPN configuration file from InConnect and send the file to your mobile phone.

4. Tap FILE, select a configuration file, choose IMPORT>ADD, and toggle on the OpenVPN profile.

5. After OpenVPN is connected, launch the ping tool of the mobile phone, enter the router’s virtual IP address, and test whether the address can be pinged. If the address can be pinged, the current user is connected to the remote router.



5. Connecting the Router’s Downstream Devices

You can add downstream devices of the router to InConnect so that you can remotely access and control these devices. After a downstream device is added, InConnect automatically delivers the running configuration to create a secure network connection.

InConnect supports two access modes: access through the virtual IP address and access through the real IP address. The details are described below.


5.1. Access Through the Virtual IP Address

InConnect automatically maps an added downstream device (such as the PLC) to a virtual IP address. This auto mapping mechanism can prevent access conflicts. When you are not demanding on management and usage of real IP addresses, it is recommended that you use this access mode because it is more convenient. Access through the virtual IP address is also the default access mode of InConnect.

[Operation method 1]

1. On the Sites page, choose End Devices>Add.

 

2. Enter the name and real IP address of the downstream device, and select the site of the device, that is, the device name added to the site.

 3. Click Submit, and check the result. InConnect automatically maps the downstream device to a virtual IP address. You can add a maximum of 254 downstream devices foreach router. As shown in the figure below, the real IP address of the downstream device on the Device01 site is 192.168.2.215, and the mapped virtual IP address is 10.16.46.1.

 

[Operation method 2]

1. On the Sites page, click the router name of the target downstream device. 

2. Go to the router management page.

 

3. Choose End Devices>Create, enter the related information, and click Submit.

 4. InConnect automatically maps the downstream device to a virtual IP address. Here, the allocated virtual IP address is 10.16.34.1.

 

5. After you install the client on the local PC, create and configure a connection. Then, ping the virtual IP address of the downstream device to check whether this device can be remotely accessed. If the virtual IP address can be pinged, the remote access is successful. Now you can use the virtual IP address to remotely access the router and its downstream devices such as PLCs and HMIs through the InConnect maintenance channel.

 


5.2 Access Through the Real IP Address

In addition to the virtual IP address, InConnect also allows you to access downstream devices such as PLCs using the real IP addresses. When you are very demanding on management and usage of real IP addresses, it is recommended that you use this access mode. If you use this access mode, pay attention to the IP conflict issue.

1. Choose Sites>Routers, and select the target device name to go to the device management page.

2. Select Enable real IP access, and configure the network segment of the target downstream device.

 

3. Add the downstream device that needs to be accessed through the real IP address.

4. Test the network connection through the real IP address. 

In this access mode, the IP address used is decided by you on site, and duplicate IP addresses will result in access conflicts. To avoid this problem, you can use the "Networks" module of InConnect. For details about this module, see 6. Network Management.After enabling real IP, both the virtual IP and real IP can be used to access the downstream  device.


6. Network Management

6.1 Configuring a Mesh Network

Mesh networks are used to remotely maintain connections with devices, such as PLCs, HDMIs, and cameras.


All the newly-added routers are in Default Network, which is a mesh network. For all routers in a mesh network, real IP access can be enabled, after which IP conflicts will be detected. If duplicated IP addresses are found, a new mesh network must be created to configure the real IP address of the router. Alternatively, you can enable or disable real IP addresses to avoid the conflicts and implement access through real IP address on demand.

You can also use the "Networks" module to implement authority control of network access. The details are described below.

6.1.1 Adding a Mesh Network

1. Select Networks, and click + to add a network.


2. Enter the network name, select the network type Mesh Network, and click Submit.

3. Select the Device-to-Device Access switch.

4. Select the network members and sites, and click Submit.

| Device Inter-Access Switch Description:
  1. You can turn on the Device-to-Device Access function when you need routers/terminal devices within your network to be able to access each other.
  2. For security requirements, you can also choose to turn off the Device-to-Device Access function. When turned off, routers in this network will not be able to access each other, nor will routers and terminals in another router, but users in the network can still access all routers and terminals in this network.
  3. By default, routers and terminals in the Default Network can visit each other, and it is not supported to change it.


4. The Network Management page is displayed.


| Caution:
  1. A mesh network isolates network access, that is, only users and site devices in the same mesh network can communicate with each other. Users in a mesh network cannot access site devices of another mesh network, and site devices in this mesh network also cannot be accessed by users of another mesh network.
  2. Default Network is a mesh network. All the newly-added router sites and users are in Default Network. Only users and route sites in Default Network support mutual access.
  3. Configuration of multiple mesh networks can prevent conflicts of real IP addresses. When a user needs to use the real IP address to access multiple terminals with the same real IP address, use either of the following management methods:
    1. The user and all terminals are in the same mesh network. When necessary, the user enables the real IP address of a site on demand to avoid the IP conflict.
    2. Add the terminals with the same real IP address to different mesh networks. When necessary, add the user to the corresponding mesh network to obtain the access permission, which avoids the IP conflict.


6.1.2 Adding a Site or User to a Mesh Network

1. Select the target mesh network, and click Add Members.


2. Select the user name and site name, and click Submit. If an IP conflict occurs between the real IP-enabled router and any other routers in the mesh network, this router cannot be added to the mesh network.


3. Check all sites in the mesh network, and select Sites.


4. Check all users the mesh network, and select Users.


| Caution：

  1. If an IP conflict occurs between the real IP-enabled router and any other routers in the mesh network, this router cannot be added to the mesh network.
  2. 192.168.2.0 already exists in the mesh network. If the IP address of the device to be added is also 192.168.2.0, an IP conflict occurs and therefore this device cannot be added to the mesh network.


6.1.3 Move Sites/Users

1.Move Sites：Select “ Routers/Gateways >> Move Site ” in the Network Management page,  and select the network you want to move to and confirm.

2.Move Users: Select “ Users >> Move User ”,  and select the network you wish to move to and confirm.

| Caution：

  1. If an IP conflict occurs between the real IP-enabled router and any other routers in Default Network, this router cannot be removed from the existing mesh network. For example, 192.168.2.0 already exists in Default Network. If the IP address of the router to be deleted is also 192.168.2.0, an IP conflict occurs and therefore this router cannot be removed from its existing mesh network.
  2. When multiple VPN Servers exist in an organization, moving users to other networks may require re-downloading and using new VPN config profiles. It is recommended that you plan your network well in advance.

6.1.4 Deleting a Mesh Network

1. Before deleting a mesh network, delete all users and sites in the mesh network. 

2. Select the target mesh network name, and click the Delete icon to delete the mesh network.
