How to build a secure tunnel from Enterprise Alert to your Modem

  • Updated
  1. Enable SSH on the modem first.
  2. Prepare the Telnet service at the modem as usual.
  3. To establish the tunnel, use the following SSH command on your Enterprise Alert node: 
    ssh -L 5000:localhost:5000 admin@[IpOrDnsNameOfYourModem]

Afterwards you can set up the notification channel in Enterprise Alert as always, however make sure to connect to localhost:5000 instead of the modem itself.  This passes requests through the secure tunnel instead of taking the direct (and unsecure) way to the modem.
