RUT271 Cloud Solutions
The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUT2M_R_00.07.11.1.
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 RUT271 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:
|
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. |

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.
