Server Utility (Remote Tunnel Access)​

Molecule Desktop Utility - Server Utility

note

The Molecule Device ID (MID) and other relay server details must be configured in the Device Access tab before you can successfully establish a remote tunnel.

The Server Utility tab is part of the Molecule Desktop Utility, designed to establish secure remote tunnels for a MOS350 gateway. This feature allows you to securely access your gateway or any connected devices from a remote location using a secure shell (SSH) or any other TCP/IP-based connection.

  • To access the MOS350 gateway itself: Keep the Host IP set to localhost and the Host Port as 22. Port 22 is the standard port for SSH.
  • To access a connected (downstream) device: Enter the specific IP address of the downstream device in the Host IP field, then enter the specific port number in the Host Port field.
  • Activate the Tunnel: Once you have entered the correct details, click the Activate Remote Access button.
  • Deactivate the Tunnel: To close the secure connection, click the Deactivate Remote Access button. This will terminate the tunnel and end your remote access session.
  • The Status box at the bottom of the screen will show you the progress and outcome of the connection/disconnection attempt.
