Accessing your eGauge from the Internet
To access the eGauge from the Internet, open a compatible web-browser and then
visit the Web page at:
http://egauge.net/devices/
.
Type the name of your device into the search box on that page (or any unique part
of it) and then click on the the matching entry.
Alternatively, you can directly enter the following web address into your browser:
http://
devname
.egaug.es/
where
devname
is the name of your device
(e.g., “
eGauge9999
”).
You can also use the above URL as an alternative means to connect to your device
directly through your LAN. To accomplish that, click on the
LAN Access
link on
the top right of the page, once the device’s dashboard has loaded. This directs
your browser to access the device directly (through your LAN rather than going
through
egauge.net
). This is both faster and allows you to access the device
even at times when your Internet-connection may not be working properly. Please
bookmark the address displayed in the browser after the page referred to by the
LAN Access
link has finished loading.
NOTE:
From time to time, the address of your eGauge may change and the
bookmark will stop working. Should this happen, repeat the above steps and
update the bookmark with the new address. Usually, this happens infrequently,
if at all. However, since it
can
happen, we recommend using the connection-
methods described in the previous section whenever possible. Alternatively, a
static (fixed) address can be configured for the device. See the next section for
details.
The eGauge proxy service is best-effort and not guaranteed to be available at all
times. See the Proxy Server Statement on http://www.egauge.net/policy/ for more
details.
