LB2120 Remote Management

[CAREONECOMM]

Hello, I'm trying to find a remote management option in LB2120 GUI interface without sucess, there is not access from internet to this LTE Modem with failover? this option will exist in future?

Thanks

I'd also like to see an ability to remotely manage the LB2120.  For me, I just need the ability to manage the device through the WAN port.   

In my application, the LB2120 is in bridge mode with the WAN port is connected to my LAN.  I have a raspberryPi running a security/home monitoring application connected to the LB2120's LAN port. 

The trouble with this configuration is that I can't manage the LB2120 without setting up the raspberry pi as a web proxy and setting up my browser to use a proxy server.  This is a pain and it'd be much easier if I could manage the LB2120 over the WAN port. 

Activating 'bridge mode' could automatically turn on the ability to manage the LB2120 from the WAN port.  Logically, the intent of bridge mode is to make the path between the LAN and WAN sides look like a wire.  In that model, there's no reason a device on the WAN side shouldn't be able to access the managent IP of the device.

What public IP do you want the device to respond to in bridge mode? It can't be the WAN IP as your router owns that now. It's almost exactly like a wire... transparent.

I have read anyway that it's more unstable in bridge mode.

In any case, the LB2120 has some weird DNS issue which when it hits, makes remote access via port forward from an internal DMZ box problematic. The web UI often redirects to lb2120.mhs, which isn't a real DNS address. If you aren't using the lb2120 as your DNS server, the webui can be unreachable. I had to use a DNS rewrite extension in chrome to map lb2120.mhs to the WAN IP of the port forward.

And finally, good luck port forwarding from other than port 80 to the lb2120...

I wasn't asking for remote access capability over mobile, only the ethernet WAN port and only in bridge mode.   Also, I'd be fine if remote access over the WAN port stopped working when the device is failed over to mobile.

Hi CAREONECOMM & Magellan2,

I am sorry for your issue. I was wondering if both of you have had this issue resolved. If not, then I will let my internal team look at this issue and will update both you. Please let me know. :]
