Can you access the controller through a web browser? If not, follow these instructions, and then you should be able to also access it from AquaNotes.
First you need to get the settings for your local network ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ you can do this by bringing up a command shell on your PC (type cmd in the start->run window of your PC). In the cmd shell type ââ"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“ipconfig /allââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ This will display your IP address, netmask, default gateway, and dns server.
Youââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ll need to enter the netmask, default gateway, and dns server into the AquaControllerââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s network setup menus. Go to the setup->net setup menu is on the AquaController 3. The IP address should be unique and different then your PCs ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ most likely youââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ll only change the last 3 digits of the address. Youââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ll access the controller through your internet browser by typing in the IP address of the controller in the address field of your browser. If that works, then you can try to access the controller from the internet.
Your router needs to be configured so that inbound port 80 tcp requests are sent to the AquaController's IP address on port 80. Usually this is in a virtual server setup menu or the port forwarding section of the router. If your ISP blocks incoming port 80 requests then you will have to use a different port number. In this case you would configure your router to route incoming port 4567 (or any other 4 digit number) to port 80 of the AquaController's IP address. You should enter the internet ip address (like 123.45.67.111) into a web browser to access the controller's web server. If your isp blocks port 80 then you would need to enter the address as
http://123.45.67.111:4567 - substitute your internet IP address for 123.45.67.111. On your local network you can find your internet IP address by going to
www.whatismyip.com.
If this doesnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t help, please call when you are in front of your controller and Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ll help you through the configuration.
