Remote Server Access

To connect to a remote database server, you must forward port 3050 on your router to the database server computer. This allows communications on port 3050 to be forwarded to the database server. You then access the database using the router's external IP address instead of the server's name. Setting up port forwarding involves finding instructions in your router's documentation and specifying the database server's local IP address and port 3050.

How to connect to a remote database server

Please note that to configure a remote connection to your database, it is recommended to use the
services of an IT or at least someone that is comfortable navigating within your router s settings.

Before we start...
At this stage, we assume you have a database server running on the network in your main office.
If it s not the case, please read this procedure to learn how to install a database server on your
local network : Network Setup Procedure

Setup procedure
If the database server computer is behind a router (which is generally the case), you will have to
do a port forwarding on your router for port 3050 (this is the port used by the Firebird database
server). That means that all the communications entering port 3050 on your router must be
forwarded to the database server computer.

You will have to find your router s documentation to find out how to configure a port
forwarding. You can also refer to this website which contains great resources :
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

Once it s done, you will be able to access the database from remote devices using the IP address
instead of the name of the database server.
