Re: Total data used

HI The Traffic Tab is pretty much doing what I was looking for but just need clarity in understanding it. I assume its traffic from last restart of interface? Looking at the data I believe the information for "total data used" (as I am considering my data plan limit) is the 5th row of data...

Is there a way through Winbox to see the total internet data that your network has used?

Total ISP data for period.

Hi my ISP I believe has throttled my service, because I'm in a remote location on an LTE connection therefore can't see text messages they may be sending to my SXT. My question is simply how can I see my total bandwidth use for a period. Also moving on from that is there a way to see if one culprit ...

Re: WiFi from an SXT [SOLVED]

Yes reading back it's unclear, I'm not an IT professional so perhaps not using the correct terminology. Is there a way I could get it working perhaps by bouncing to another unconnected point in a garden shed in the middle?

Re: WiFi from an SXT [SOLVED]

On my sxt LTE I have two ports one is Poe in. Are you saying I can use a patch cable out of the other port to the SXT wifi version (which I will purchase) that presumably has Poe in, patch to that and effectively power two units from one Poe injector?

Re: WiFi from an SXT [SOLVED]

Thank you that's very helpful. So the LTE version will power the WiFi SXT through the other port on the LTE version? No need to increase the ampage of the existing PSU? Any idea if it'll cover 200mtrs?
Thanks.

I purchased a SXT R in UK about one month ago which was running an EE sim, with the unit mounted on a pole on my roof. It had 4 bars, I was achieving 60mb and was running perfectly then about a week ago and for no apparent reason it dropped to two bars, all cells still available, checked with my mob...

Re: SXT LTE +CME Error: 100 using EE

AS an update to anyone reading this I resolved the problem. It seems EE is alone in requiring an APN setup - I used the following (think its just username and password needed which I put in as CHAPS):
Name: EE internet
APN: everywhere
Username: eesecure

Re: SXT LTE +CME Error: 100 using EE

Any help greatly appreciated. I have now tested in two locations and it is obviously a sim specific problem. I've checked with EE who advise there's no locks on SIM or any other reason it shouldn't work.

Re: Seeing My CCTV from inside the network

Ok, The example you give "https://192.254.6.50:8080 it open my monitoring map" is an internal address.
In my case lets say the external address is 123.23.123.23 and the cctv actually lives on 192.168.0.5 at port 81
Where would I put these numbers.
Thanks again...

Re: Seeing My CCTV from inside the network

Apologies, perhaps i'm not clear. Forget the CCTV thing as that's largely irrelevant.
Simply put MY public Ip is not visible internally.
Google "NAT LOOPBACK" thats what I need to achieve I believe.

Re: Seeing My CCTV from inside the network

Yes I know that. And that is set up fine.
The pain is I need to use the internal IP address to view the cameras when I am at home and the External (Published) IP address when viewing externally.
I understand that Nat loopback enables the external IP address to be viewed internally??
