What do you use to access phone GUI behind SBC ?

[AWS2P]

Hello,
I'd like to know what is the best way to follow to be able to access phone GUI for firmware update for example when phones are behind debian SBC ?

Of course i'd like something else than asking hand and disturbing customer with a windows teamviewer session on computer from their LAN. Also sometimes SBCs are behind permanent 4G routers without static public IP (so,one problem more).

As on SBC there is nothing graphical with easy and quick access , so what is the 3CX way to manage phones in that kind of use?

Is there some improvments coming in V18 or for future release on that area ?

Thanks for your lights.

Hi Bob,
interresting, but can you give me some more details as it's not clear crystal for me what settings i need to do same as you.
Could it be possible to share a detailled example?
Thanks
Christian

On the remote (SBC) end, I forward a port at the firewall/router (could be 22, but I had to use a different one because 22 was used for something else) to port 22 on the SBC. Also I restrict access so the whole internet cannot connect to this port.

On my Windows computer, I configure Putty by going to Connections > SSH > Tunnels, then adding a source port and destination for each phone. For example, source port 8001 and destination 10.0.0.5:80, where 10.0.0.5 is the static IP address of one of the phones.

After opening Putty and establishing this connection, I open my browser, go to http://locahost:8001 and the phone GUI comes up. Going to http://localhost:8002 brings up the GUI for phone 2, etc.

This method is very lightweight, no 3rd party software required, no GUI needed on the SBC.
