RUTX08 Cloud Solutions

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUTX_R_00.07.11.

Summary

The Cloud Solutions section is used to configure how the device will connect to certain cloud management systems.

This chapter of the user manual provides an overview of the Cloud Solutions page for RUTX08 devices.

Note: Each Cloud Solutions service, except RMS, is additional software that can be installed from the System → Package Manager page.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

RMS

RMS (Remote Management System) is a cloud system designed by Teltonika and intended for remote monitoring and management of Teltonika-Networks products.

In order to add a device(s) to RMS, get yourself acquainted by watching this instructional video and register an account by clicking here. Each unique device receives a free month-long RMS license when added to RMS for the first time.

The figure below is a screenshot of the RMS section taken from a device which has been connected to RMS:

Field	Value	Description
Connection type	Enabled | Standby | Disabled; default: Enabled	Defines how the device will connect to RMS: Enabled - RMS functionality is always on. When disconnected from RMS, the device will try connecting every 2-5 minutes (every 2 minutes the first hour; then every 5 minutes). If the device is disconnected from RMS for 14 days, it will go into Standby mode. When trying to connect to rms without internet connection, the router will try to reestablish connection every 10 seconds. Standby - The device tries to establish a connection with the server infrequently (6 hours in-between attempts). This is done in order to reduce mobile traffic. In order to start using RMS, user intervention is not necessary from the device's side. Worst case scenario - RMS connection will be established 6 hours after the device was added to RMS. Disabled - RMS functionality is completely disabled; therefore, no connection attempts are made. In order to start using RMS, the user must enable the service on the device's side.
Hostname	host | ip; default: rms.teltonika.lt	Address of the RMS server. If you're using regular RMS, just leave the default address (rms.teltonika.lt).
Port	integer [1..65535]; default: 15009	Port number for connecting to RMS. If you're using regular RMS, just leave the default port (15009).
Authentication code	string; default: none	Authentication code provided by RMS after adding the device.
Proxy settings	Value	Description
Enable proxy	off | on; default: off	Enable RMS connection through proxy.
Proxy address	domain names or IP addresses; default: none	Specify proxy address.
Proxy SOCKS5 port	integer [1..65535]; default: 1080	SOCKS5 proxy server port.
Use credentials	off | on; default: off	SOCKS5 proxy server port.
SOCKS5 username	string; default: none	Specify username for SOCKS5 proxy connection.
SOCKS5 password	string; default: none	Specify password for SOCKS5 proxy connection.

---

The RMS server waits for incoming connections. Since the device attempts to connect at a fixed interval, it may not connect instantly after you add it to RMS. While it is disconnected, you can check how much time is left until the next connection attempt in the Status section:

To speed up the process by initiating an immediate connection attempt, click the Connect button.

If a failure or unknown status occurs, there is an alternative to try to reconnect again, click the Reconnect button.

When the device is already connected a Reset button becomes visible. Use it to terminate the device's connection to RMS.

For more information on Teltonika Networks Remote Management System (RMS) refer to the RMS Manual or RMS FAQ pages.
