2.) ROUTER CONFIGURATION If you are using a router, it must be configured to allow the TR-203 to connect to your PC. Please contact your router’s manufacturer or download your models user manual to find out how you can configure these settings for your particular model:

Look for

Dynamic DNS Provider: Here is where you can input the information relating to your static IP

obtained from Dyndns (Optional)

Firewall: Must be set up to allow incoming traffic. Virtual DMZ: Here you input the static IP of the computer running the TR Management

Center 203.

Custom Service Filter: Here you open a TCP Port for the Call Center.

Here are some screenshots of these settings using a Netgear Router.

Input Dynamic DNS Provider

Open Inbound Traffic

Create TCP port for TR Management Center 203

Input IP of computer with TR Management Center 203

NOTE: Not all router configurations are the same. These screenshots are just an example of

the settings that need to be configured in your router.

3.) FIREWALL

If you have a firewall on your computer, you will need to allow access to your computer by opening the same TCP port that you configured in your router setup. For Windows XP: a.) Go to Control Panel > Windows Firewall. b.) Under Exceptions tab, select “Add Program”. If you don’t see the TR Management Center listed, browse for it. c.) Next, go to “Add Port”. Input a name and TCP port.

4.) GPRS SETTINGS GPRS settings can be obtained from the carrier of the SIM you are using in your TR-203.

Your SIM carrier can provide you with the APN, user name and password, and DNS addresses. Your carrier may use all these settings, or just one or two in which the remaining should remain blank. You can also find this information for many popular carriers at
