The Basics of UCM RemoteConnect

UCM RemoteConnect is a powerful tool for any Grandstream installer to have in their offering. It expands the UCM6300 Ecosystem with two critical functions, UCM6300 series cloud management and NAT firewall traversal to a UCM6300 for remote users. Together, these two features make cloud management of an entire deployment a possibility.

Registering a UCM6300 IP PBX

Once a Grandstream Device Management System account has been created, UCM RemoteConnect can be accessed and UCM6300 series IP PBXs can be added and managed. From the GDMS dashboard, navigate the left bar menu and click on the “UCMRC” tab. There are three options.

Viewing, Configuring, and Managing a UCM6300 UCM IP PBX

Now that the UCM6300 IP PBX is registered to UCM RemoteConnect and organized into one of your sites, it can now be viewed, configured, and managed. Through the UCM Device tab on GDMS, an installer can view all the UCM6300’s that they have deployed and registered to UCM RemoteConnect.

Ongoing Management of UCM RemoteConnect

With the UCM6300 IP PBX added to UCM RemoteConnect and remote devices registered and connected to the UCM via the NAT firewall traversal feature, all that is left is to monitor and manage UCM RemoteConnect.

Combining the Best of Cloud and On-Premise Solutions

UCM RemoteConnect bridges the gap between an on-premise solution and cloud-based use/management. Installers and IT teams can take advantage of the system's tool to configure, manage, and monitor their UCM6300 series IP PBXs across all of their deployment sites.

What is DDNS in UCM6XXX?

In environments where public static IP is not available, customers may use DDNS (Dynamic DNS) to avoid the need to assign allocated dynamic public IP each time on UCM6XXX (NAT settings) and on client sides when public IP is updated from the provider.

Does UCM6XXX have NAT?

When the UCM6XXX is on a public IP communicating with devices hidden behind NAT (e.g., broadband router), NAT parameter needs to be enabled on extensions to use on remote phones (enabled by default). Note: If there is one-way audio issue, usually it's related to NAT configurationand RTP ports.
