Hi mamunpalermo,

How far is "far away from my office". CAT6 network cable is good for about 100 meters. A wireless client connection is good for almost the same distance under the best conditions. So, how far is the office from the controller.

Now that's what I call far. Sorry, but I see no other solution than a PC with an internet connection on site.

I'm by no means an IT person but couldn't a small Raspberry or Beagle Bone like device with an IP address be used to connect to the Morningstar controller and remotely accessed, perhaps one of the more computer savvy people hear have ideas.

I just use mine hooked to a wireless router and access at the house 200' away.  You need a network geek in your neighborhood to set this up for you.  Is there any internet near it - a friendly neighbor maybe, share their internet connection ?
