-When using SMS connection type, SMS is used to trigger the communicator module to launch a connection to the DLS IV computer.  To accept these SMS initiated incoming connections to DLS IV, the local network (DLS IV's local network) must be setup accordingly.
-A port must be opened for TCP traffic to be passed through to the DLS IV computer.
-First, set your PC's network configuration to have a STATIC IP.  The port forwarding required by DLS IV will not work well with DHCP (dynamic IP).
-Next, choose a port to be opened on your router/firewall.  We recommend using a higher port number, 30000 or higher, to reduce the chance of conflicting with another application.  This port is your PUBLIC PORT.
-DLS IV is configured to be listening on port 51004 of the PC at ALL times.  This will be your PRIVATE PORT.
-Now, the router/firewall can be configured.
-IP = your static IP
-PUBLIC Port = the port you chose
-PRIVATE Port = 51004
-Protocol = TCP
-The last step, if necessary, is to open Port 51004 on the PCâ€™s firewall.
-Thatâ€™s it.  You should be ready to use the SMS connection type to remotely program your unit.
-Itâ€™s important to note that Connect24 will need to know the PUBLIC PORT.  When creating an account, be sure to include your PUBLIC IP and the PUBLIC PORT.
