System description
Since mobile communication networks are normally blocked from the Internet through firewalls, the individual
plant routers have to be interconnected as clients on a server outside of the mobile communication network.
Together with the server they constitute a combined and closed network in which they can communicate and can
be reached by a chosen application in the service network (data base, programming device).
When using a ServiceServer, plants are organized in different and separated customer networks. A combined
admin network may be implemented. For further information please contact us.
Summary
• Very easy integration of the Routers as clients in the target network
• No port forwarding, only an IP with Internet access is required
• Wireless connection to plants via LTE offers sufficient bandwidth - uncomplicated and for world-wide use
• Reasonably-priced start with ServiceServer as central VPN server
• Complex structures may be implemented at any point in time through the portal server „MAGNUM“
3. Legacy version, Router as VPN Server
The ServiceRouter at the remote plant is VPN server. This requires the Router to be integrated into the (end
customer) target network and to be accessible at least through port forwarding of the VPN port. If the target
network only has a dynamic IP, a service such as DynDNS is required to update the current IP.
The free software EurogardSRConnect establishes the connection to the VPN server. In addition, your certificates
are managed and the access times for subsequent invoicing are saved.
Continuous communication between individual systems is not possible in this scenario.
