How Do I Set up DINA?

Direct Inbound Access, or DINA, is a proprietary technology designed by Connectivity Management.

DINA gives you the ability to access your SIMs from any location in the world via a web page. Using DINA you can temporarily associate any fixed IP SIM on your account with a public IP address. This means you can quickly access subscribers without the requirement to set up or install VPN technologies.

This section explains how to set up a DINA association for a SIM.

Note

For security reasons, DINA is only available for fixed IP SIMs.

No more than 16 DINA sessions can be run concurrently per customer IP address.

Setting up a DINA association involves the following steps:

Locate the subscriber you want to create a DINA association for.
Create the DINA association.
Access the DINA IP address.
Terminate the DINA session.

1 Locate the Subscriber to Configure

The simplest way to locate a subscriber is to use the Search Bar.

To search for a subscriber:

Enter any of the following terms into the Search Bar:
- Device number.
- Voice number.
- Nickname.
- Unique identifier.
Press the Return key.
If you have successfully located a subscriber, its subscriber management page will be displayed.

2 Create the DINA Association

To create the DINA association, click on the Associate DINA button.

3 Access the DINA IP Address

To access the DINA IP address, click on the IP address displayed in the DINA panel.

Note

The subscriber management page in Connectivity Management must be kept open to keep the DINA connection alive.
By default, DINA establishes a connection using HTTP port 80.
If port 80 is not available on the your device, you must append the URL generated by the platform with an available port.
For example <DINA URL>:<YOUR PORT NUMBER>
To determine which ports are available on your device, consult its documentation.
For example, if your device has port 8080 available, you would amend the URL as follows: <DINA IP>:8080

4 Terminating the DINA Session

To end the session, either:

Click on the Disassociate DINA button.
Close or navigate away from the subscriber management page in Connectivity Management.
