configure the IP Link. The other 2 methods, the KT-Finder and the Web Configuration Page, can be
used when the PC has no EntraPass application running.

WAN Configurations

When sites are distant from each other and protected by the router’s firewall, the public IP address
must be used for communication between EntraPass and the remote IP Link. The Network
Administrator must provide you the Public IP addresses (local and remote). The public IP address is
provided by the local Internet Service Provider (ISP) which controls the IP address.

Note: 

Kantech recommends the use of a Static or Reserved DHCP IP address for the remote IP Link
and the Gateway since the routers must be configured for port forwarding.

There are two WAN configurations for the IP Link: 

Static IP Addressing

You will use this type of addressing in an environment where the Network Administrator will determine
the IP address for communication between EntraPass and the IP Link. Since the EntraPass application
is at the host site, you must use the KT-Finder to configure the IP Link.
