If there is a checkmark in this checkbox, the parameterization of the
NETLink PRO ETH can be viewed and changed, if necessary, in any
standard Browser (z.B. IE, Firefox, Opera …) as long as the
password (if one has been set) is known.
Section 6 provides more detailed information about what you can do
with the web interface.
Here too, clicking the ‘
Save in NETLink PRO ETH’
button saves the
parameters in the NETLink PRO ETH.
5.1.1.3 Using the NETLink PRO ETH for teleservice
If you want to use the NETLink PRO ETH for teleservice, you should
consult the network administrators of both the locations involved.
There are various ways of implementing teleservice via a WAN (wide area
network). Here are some suggestions:
•
Assignment of a separate, unique IP address with direct access to the
network.
Advantage:
Quick to implement
No intervention by the
administrator required
Disadvantage:
Few globally available addresses
exist
A separate network with direct
WAN access is required
•
Use behind a router by means of NAT
Advantage:
Can be integrated into existing
infrastructures
Administrator can ensure that it
is not visible/usable from
outside
Disadvantage:
Network administrators must
parameterize routers and
firewalls between the
communicating nodes
•
Use of a dial-up router (e.g. ISDN)
Advantage:
relatively simple to implement
if a phone connection is
available
Disadvantage:
Loss of performance, additional
costs due to phone charges
