NOTES :

AFTER PREVIOUS ATTEMPT DURING STARTUP TO CONFIGURE THE PLC WATCHDOG SYSTEM WITHOUT SUCCESS.  THE FOLLOWING WAS DONE AND 
VERIFIED.

ATTEMPT TO CONNECT PLC TO CUSTOMER\'S INTERNET CONNECTION.  
-THE LAN (LOCAL AREA NETWORK) MUST HAVE THE SAME GATEWAY IP AS THE THE PLC.  
-DEFAULT GATEWAY FOR PLC 192.168.1.1.  
-CUSTOMERS LAN IN THIS CASE IS 192.168.0.1
-IP ADRESS AND GATEWAY CANNOT BE MODIFIED ON THE PLC AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE DRYER TO NOT FUNCTION.

SOLUTION TO CORRECT CUSTOMERS LAN GATEWAY (192.168.0.1) TO FUNCTION WITH PLC\'S GATEWAY (192.168.1.1)
-PURCHASED A D-LINK STANDARD WIRELESS NETWORK ROUTER
-CONFIGURED D-LINK ROUTER SO THAT THE LAN IS 192.168.1.1 (SAME AS THE PLC).
-CONFIGURED D-LINK ROUTER AS TO RESERVE IP ADRESS 192.168.1.252 FOR THE PLC
-CONFIGURED D-LINK ROUTER TO DMZ IP ADRESS 192.168.1.252, THIS WILL ALLOW ACCESS TO ALL THE PORTS FOR THE PLC ON THE WAN (WIDE 
AREA NETWORK)(IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO PORT FORWARD 5900 FOR VNC AS WELL AS 465 FOR SMTP.
-CONFIGURED D-LINK ROUTER TO HAVE A STATIC WAN IP ADRESS OF 192.168.0.200
-CONFIGURED CUSTOMER\'S INTERNET ACESS ROUTER TO RESERVE LAN IP 192.168.0.200 FOR THE D-LINK ROUTER
-CONFIGURED CUSTOMER\'S INTERNET ACCESS ROUTER TO DMZ LAN IP 192.168.0.200 TO ALLOW D-LINK ROUTER TO HAVE ALL PORTS FORWARDED 
(IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO PORT FORWARD 5900 FOR VNC AS WELL AS 465 FOR SMTP)

INTERNET ACCESS NOW CORRECTED FOR PLC AS WELL AS POSSIBLE LOCAL INTERNET ACCESS VIA WIFI ON THE D-LINK ROUTER

ATTEMPT TO CONFIGURE PLC AUTOMATED WATCHDOG MESSAGING THROUGH SMTP
-ALL ATTEMPTS VIA @GMAIL FAILED
-ALL ATTEMPTS VIA @COMPTOIRAGRICOLE.COM FAILED
-CONTACTED ANDREAS FROM GSI TO ATTEMPS TO REMOTE CONNECT, ALL ATTEMPTS FAILED
-ATTEMPTED TO CONNECT FROM ROGERS, TELUS OR BELL HOTSPOT, ALL ATTEMPTS FAILED (*SEE BELOW)
-TRANSFERED PLC PANELVIEW TO A HARDWIRED INTERNET CONNECTION VIA COGECO CABLE
-ANDREAS GSI ATTEMPTED TO REMOTE CONNECT TO THE SYSTEM AND WAS SUCCESSFUL
-IT WAS DETERMINED BY GSI THAT THE PLC DID NOT CONTAIN AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE THUS, CAUSING THE ERRORS WITH THE 
MESSAGING SERVICE OF THE WATCHDOG.
-UPDATED SOFTWARE ON PLC
-TESTED MESSAGING SERVICE SUCCESSFULLY.

SUGGESTION FOR GSI TO SIMPLIFY THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE WATCHDOG SYSTEM
-ADDITION OF A SECONDARY ROUTER TO ALLOW TO BRIDGE BETWEEN PLC AND CUSTOMERS INTERNET GATEWAY
-PRE CONFIGURE THE ADDITIONAL ROUTER AS TO NEED ONLY TO CHANGE THE WAN IP AND GATEWAY ADRESS
-PROVIDE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONFIGURE THE ROUTER

*NOTE REGARDING CELLULAR HOTSPOTS IN CANADA:
-IT WOULD SEEM THAT WHEN USING CELLULAR HOTSPOTS IN CANADA THAT BY DEFAULT SOME OR POSSIBLY ALL THE MOBILE PROVIDERS WILL BLOCK ALL 
INCOMING PORTS TOWARDS THE NETWORK AS TO AVOID SPAM AND PREVENT EXCESS BANDWIDTH USE.  AS A RESULT OF THE BLOCKED PORTS IT IS 
IMPOSSIBLE TO CONNECT TO THE DRYER VIA VNC VIEWER TO TAKE CONTROL AND OBSERVE IN REAL TIME THE DRYER, SMTP WILL STILL FUNCTION AS IT 
OUTGOING FROM THE SYSTEM.
-WE WOULD LIKE THAT GSI DO SOME RESEARCH WITH CANADIAN MOBILE PROVIDERS TO SEE IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO UNBLOCK PORT 5900 (WHICH WILL 
BE UNLIKELY AND A HASSLE TO CUSTOMERS WHO WOULD WANT TO ATTEMPT TO DO SO) OR EXPERIMENT TO SEE IF VNC CAN BE ACCESSED ON A PORT 
OTHER THAT 5900 THAT WOULD NOT BE BLOCKED BY THE MOBILE PROVIDER, THIS TESTING  FOR EXAMPLE ON PORT 80 WOULD NEED TO BE 
CONFIGURED ON THE PLC AND TRIED WITH A MOBILE HOTSPOT, OR VERIFY WITH THE PROVIDER IF THERE ARE ANY ACCESSIBLE OPEN PORTS
