The Cisco AnyConnect VPN app is required for direct remote connections to any device connected to the router.
With every CSL 4G Router purchase, we supply a secure Cisco AnyConnect VPN connection tailored specifically for each purchased router. Details for how to download the Cisco AnyConnect VPN app and the login details are included in the instructions provided with the router.
Important Note: The VPN is not necessary if using a third-party P2P service for remote connection to your device.
Ensure the Cisco AnyConnect VPN app is running and connected. Enter the router WAN IP address into a browser (or your relevant software) with the port number you would like to connect to.
Important Note: For the remote connection to work, your VPN must be running and connected. The device connected to the CSL Router must be set the to static LAN IP address included in the instructions that came with the router.

By default, the router will come with port forwarding rules for a single IP address. However, we can add more port forwarding rules to accommodate multiple devices. This is only necessary if remote connection is required to the devices. If the device just needs an outbound connection, then no additional port forwarding rules are necessary as outbound connections are not blocked.
Please contact our Technical Support team if you require additional port forwarding rules added to your CSL Router. You can contact the team on +44 1895 474 444 or m2msupport@csl-group.com.
