For remote monitoring of solar energy systems, we've been using Multitech eCell (MTE) modems which our monitoring supplier furnishes bundled with T-Mobile data plans. That works great for most of our systems, where the monitoring equipment pushes data to a remote proxy server that the users access to view the data. However, we now have an application where we'll be running a server on-site, behind the cell modem, so to make it accessible we need either a reachable public address that we can use with dynamic DNS, or a static address.
Although the modem configuration screen shows a WAN IP address, that address isn't reachable from the internet. Apparently T-Mobile does an address translation between the internet and the modem.
Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution?
