Open VPN portal:
Requirement: SIM card from an LTE provider with portal solution for Open VPN:
The device can be accessed independently of the Internet via a provider portal and Open VPN.
The provider must offer IoT or M2M tariffs with OpenVPN access to the "SIM card". Direct support of Open VPN is required. The provider offers an OpenVPN configuration file for this.
Then the customer receives from the mobile phone provider:
APN designation (Access Point Name)
Possibly usernames
Possibly password, if applicable
PIN number for SIM card
OpenVPN configuration file or an OpenVPN key from the provider
Providers for such a service are, for example, Vodafone IoT Easy Connect (limited bandwidth) or 1NCE IoT Flat Rate.

Then the customer receives from the mobile phone provider:

The EIBPORT is connected to the Internet via the LAN and router with e.g. DSL. If this connection fails, the EIBPORT automatically switches to the LTE data connection. If the LAN/DSL connection is available again, the EIBPORT switches from the LTE connection back to DSL.
The remote access via HOOC remains independent of the connection.
Then the customer receives from the mobile phone provider:
APN designation (Access Point Name)
Possibly usernames
Possibly password, if applicable
PIN number for SIM card
