Wide Area Network (WAN) Architecture
A wide area network is generally deployed on a long geographic distance and connects two or several local
networks. The wide area network may use public networks to communicate and transmit data between the
distant networks.
In a WAN, IP addresses can be reserved or the server could be left to assign IP addresses automatically
(DHCP).
Note:
We prefer the use of a static IP address for the KT-NCC since the routers have to be configured
to forward ports with static addresses.
When sites that are distant from the network are protected by routers, a public address will be used for
communication between the EntraPass server and the remote KT-NCC controller(s). The supplier of the
public network or the Network Administrator should be able to provide you with this public IP address.
Figure 4 shows an example of an architecture in a WAN network.
