Description

MAC address

A MAC (Media Access Control) address, sometimes referred to as a hardware or physical address, is a unique, 12-character alphanumeric attribute that is used to identify individual electronic devices on a network.

This is a MAC address of the LTE modem chipethernet network.

Current IP addressIf

Actual IP address of the ethernet network specified as static or assigning by the DHCP server (if DHCP is enabled, this local IP address is created).

LTE IP address

The IP address given of the mobile network assigned by the telecom operator.

Your LTE IP address can be Static or Dynamic

By default, a regular LTE connection does not provide a static IP address to access the device. You need to request telecom provider to give you a static IP address on LTE connection.

A Static IP address is always Whitelisted. Whitelisted means that ports 80/, 443 and others are open for entry, and you can access the device using this IP address.

A Dynamic IP address can be Whitelisted or Greylisted. Greylisted means that ports are closed by NAT provider, and you can not access the device using this IP address.

If you can access the Vutlan system’s Web Interface using this IP address, the IP is Whitelisted.

Vutlan systems may not check if the IP address is Whitelisted or Greylisted. Can not check if teh the IP address is Static or Dynamic. It all depends on your telecom provider and the service you ordered (e.g. your telecom contract).
