Step-by-Step Walk through
1. Log into InControl2
-Go to incontrol2.peplink.com
-Sign in with your Peplink credentials.
2. Locate Your Device
-From the Organization → Group → Device list, select the BR1 Max Mini.
-You’ll see its real-time status and LAN/WAN details.
3. Enable Remote Web Admin
-Under Device Details → Remote Web Admin, enable access.
-This will create a secure tunnel from InControl2 to the device’s web admin page.
4. Access Your Monitoring Device
-Once you’re in the router’s admin page, navigate to Advanced → LAN → Client List.
-You should see the TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 device listed with its assigned IP.
You can either:
-Port forward from the router to the WEB3, OR
-Use PepVPN/Remote Web Admin for a secure connection.
5. Optional – Port Forwarding for RS 485 Device
-If you need direct external access without InControl2, set up NAT Mappings/Port Forwarding so you can reach the WEB3’s IP remotely.
________________________________________
Quick Note on RS 485 vs Network Access
RS 485 is the physical serial interface, but since the TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 also has a web interface, you’ll be connecting to it via HTTP/HTTPS over the LAN, not directly to RS 485. The BR1 Mini will simply act as the network gateway.
