The best solution is to use a static IP address at the remote station. My ISP offers a package of 8 addresses for an extra monthly charge. You pick one of them and tell the router to use that address. That way the computer at the control point can always connect to the same address to access the remote station.
If you don't have a static IP, then you have to use the method that Mike describes below, which AFAIK requires a computer at the remote station. Even if the USB gadget had the feature built-in, it still wouldn't work through a router (although admittedly you probably don't need one for this application).
