InConnect Service Tutorial

If you are new to InConnect Service (ICS), please follow this start-up guide first: https://community.inhandnetworks.com/?/article/13

After adding the InHand router to ICS, the device should show up in your account like this:

If the router is not showing as online, no green dot by the device name, then the router is either offline or not yet connected to the ICS.

1. Check uplink status and router’s internet access.

• go to Status>>Network Connections, check uplink status and IP address for Cellular or WAN
• go to Tools>Ping, ping google.com to test connectivity.

2. If the router is getting internet from your home or office internet using WAN or WiFi(STA), make sure no firewall setting is blocking ports needed for ICS

• Please find port information for ICS here.

3. Go to Services>>Device Manager and double check your account information.

4. If after previous troubleshooting steps the router is still showing offline on ICS

• Please disable the Device Manager service in the device, then re-enable it.
• Delete the router on ICS and re-add it.

If the router is online, but the virtual IP is not turning blue or clickable, then the VPN is not established successfully.

1. Press the icon circled in red to push the VPN configuration again to the router.
