Allxon Connect X – How to Set Up Customized Connect Service

Introduction

This guide walks you through the essential steps to set up a remote connect service for your edge devices using the Allxon × Pinggy integration. The process ensures that your local service is running and that your port configurations are correctly aligned between your device and the Allxon Portal.

Step 1: Verify the Local Service on Your Edge Device

Before establishing a remote connection, confirm that the service you want to access is active and properly configured.

  • Check Service Status: Verify that the service (e.g., a web server, database, or application) is running and listening for connections. You can do this through the device’s command line or status dashboard.

  • Identify the Port Number: Note the port number used by the service (e.g., port 8080 for a web server). This value must match the configuration in the Allxon Portal.

Step 2: Configure Port Settings in the Allxon Portal

Once the local service is verified, configure the matching port settings in the Portal.

  1. Access the Portal: Log in to the Allxon Portal and go to Group Settings > Connect X.

  2. Set the Port: Enter the same port number used by your local service.

  3. Save Configuration: Apply and save your settings to activate the Connect X feature.

⚠️ If the port numbers do not match, the remote connection will fail.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your connection does not work as expected, check the following:

  • SSH Availability: Ensure SSH is enabled and available on your edge device. The Allxon Agent requires SSH for Pinggy tunneling to establish a secure connection.

  • Port Availability: Verify that the chosen port is not already in use by another service.
