Establishing and Using Remote Access in Cambrionix Connect
Remote Access within Cambrionix Connect allows users to manage and access their Cambrionix hubs from anywhere, ensuring continuous control and monitoring of connected devices. This feature is instrumental for users requiring the flexibility to manage their setups without being physically present.
Setting Up for Remote Access
- Digital Certificates: For secure remote access, a digital certificate must be linked to the host API. This ensures that connections are encrypted, protecting your data and control commands in transit. You can read more about Digital Certificates here.
- License Requirement: To utilize remote access functionalities, a valid Cambrionix license is required. Contact sales@cambrionix.com to acquire or inquire about licenses suitable for your needs.
- Network Configuration: Ensure that your device used for remote access can communicate with the remote API. This might involve configuring your network to allow external connections, potentially through port forwarding or setting up a VPN.
How to Use Remote Access
After ensuring the prerequisites are met, remote access can be initiated through the Cambrionix Connect platform. The user interface allows for seamless management of firmware updates, port control, and hub monitoring remotely, with all features available as if you were accessing the hubs locally.
Security Considerations
