It is my understanding that having a deployment with a central network server with conduits in packet forwarder mode would not work with a cellular deployment. Is that correct?

[Evan Wood]

Does the Packet Forwarder require an Ethernet connection to send readings to the conduit functioning as a network server? How are the packets sent from the packet forwarding conduit to the network server conduit?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. After switching out the SIM card and reattempting everything with the same settings I was able to get it working. I am guessing the SIM card was inserted incorrectly in some way and after reinserting the SIM card everything worked correctly.
Thanks,
Evan

I was able to connect the Multitech conduit to my internet, and was able to run the following npm.
npm install -g node-red-contrib-azure-iot-hub
The npm installed and everything looked correct within the Putty, and so I saved and restarted my device, but the new nodes were not in my conduits Node-Red app. Is there anything that needs to be done after installing the npm to make the nodes appear on the Multitechs Node-Red app?
Thanks,
Evan

Jeff,

The IP address on the conduit was not the same subnet as the router, but after changing the IP address of the conduit I was unable to access the Multitech portal with the new IP address. Any suggestions?

When setting up the internet connection, the IP address is the IP address of the conduit and the Gateway address is my routers IP address correct? Along with the DNS of my router? Also would I have to switch from LAN to WAN? Every time I attempt to input the gateway address of my router it says that the gateway is invalid.

Jeff,

How would I configure the conduit to access the DNS server? Would it be as simple as connecting it to the internet?

Jeff,

Must the conduit be connected to the internet in order to get the npm files to download? Do I have to set up the internet connection with the conduit even though my computer connected to the conduit has an active internet connection?
