Access CC3200 wifi based device over the internet

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Hi

I need to access CC3200 wifi based device over the internet, How it is possible , what are middle devices required  ?

For example :

-> At home CC3200 wifi  device connected to Home Wifi Route.

-> Home Wifi Route having Internet access.

-> In office there is another Route connected to internet

-> In office Laptop is connected to Office route.

Now should I access "CC3200 wifi  device" from "office Laptop", can I ping it  or it need other cloud web server as middle translator ?

Thanks,

JIgnesh

  • This has little to do with the CC3200, and more to do with networking.

    A few pointers for you to search on the internet are as follows.

    1. Search on "Port Forwarding" - If you have a static IP on your home Internet connection, you could forward a Port to a specific Internal IP Address. This is performed through configuration settings on your router, and making sure the CC3200 device also uses a Static IP, while you listen on the Port you forwarded.

    2. You can as you have suggested, use a third party service on the Internet an intermediary. You could check out the Exosite example, to see how they have accomplished this. 

    There are other methods, it really depends on what you have in mind.

    Glenn.

    p.s. Ping is not the best method to check for connectivity, this is often not forwarded on a home router.

  • Thans Glenn,

    I need more information of Exosite.

    1. If we add more sensors with CC3200, then how can I modify GUI to add that new sensor on Web server for controlling ?

    2. free of cost ?

    3. Can we add customised web server on it like data base etc. ?

    Thanks,

    JIgnesh

     

  • I'd recommend contacting Exosite with these questions, or perhaps search their site for details - http://exosite.com/
