Steps to connect ACTAtek4 remotely from public network using web browser or Android phones/Tabs?

Solution

Part A: Connect the ACTAtek device to the local area network:

Note:Please ensure that the network cable is connected between the device and the router's available LAN port firmly.

Option 1:Login to the physical device's console IP setting menu to turn on DHCP first,and then turn off to have the fixed IP address.

Option 2: Enter the valid IP settings manually according to the local area network settings.

1.Run the below command at your laptop/PC where it is connect to the same router/WiFi AP router ready to access the Internet

C:>ipconfig /all

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.106(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : July 3, 2025 1:50:21 PM
Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : July 4, 2025 1:50:22 PM
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.50
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.50
DHCPv6 IAID . . . . . . . . . . . : 77857465
DHCPv6 Client DUID. . . . . . . . : 00-01-00-01-2A-E4-70-F8-98-E7-F4-4C-76-4C
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 8.8.8.8

2.Login to the physical ACTAtek device's console IP setting menu to enter IP settings as an example below.

Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
IP Address:192.168.1.105
Gateway:192.168.1.50
DNS IP:8.8.8.8

3.Once done,please use Chrome to open the device's webpage at 192.168.1.105.

Part B: Port Forwarding Setup for ACTAtek Terminal (WAN Port 444 → LAN 192.168.1.105:443) Note:Telcom may block WAN Port 443 ,and is reserved for their router/firewall to access externally.

Step‐by‐step guide to forwarding an external port (444) to your ACTAtek device’s HTTPS port (443) at 192.168.1.105:

Give your device a fixed LAN address
Make sure your ACTAtek terminal is configured to a valid IP (e.g. 192.168.1.105) in its network.
Log in to your firewall/router
Open a browser, navigate to its management IP, and authenticate.
Go to the Port-Forwarding page
In the left menu, expand Firewall Setup → NAT Forwarding, then click Port Forwarding.
Add a new forwarding rule
- Click Add (the + icon).
- WAN Interface: select your uplink (e.g. WAN1).
- Active: choose Activated.
- Protocol: set to TCP/UDP (or just TCP if you only need HTTPS).
- Start Port / End Port: enter 444 for both (this is the external port ).
- Local IP Address: enter 192.168.1.105 (your device’s LAN IP).
- Start Port Local / End Port Local: enter 443 for both (the port your device is listening on—HTTPS by default).
- Click Save.
Test external access with https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to find your external IP address.

From outside your LAN, browse to https://64.222.21.140:444/—you should be routed through to your device’s HTTPS interface on port 443.
