8.1 OpenVPN client function of the FP Web-Server
The FP Web-Server can connect to an OpenVPN server, e.g. to use a virtual
private network with a set of IP addresses or for security issues.
The FP Web-Server can use the OpenVPN tunnel for all communication
routes and functions of the unit. Please refer to Example - OpenVPN for an
open VPN connection example.
A) Using OpenVPN technology with Ethernet LAN:
Please ask your network administrator whether the following
requirements
are met:
An OpenVPN server is required as a communication partner. Also refer
to setup of an individual Ethernet LAN (see p. 181).
The address of the OpenVPN server has to be stated correctly in the FP
Web Configurator project.
To establish a connection, the OpenVPN configuration file, certificates,
and security keys must be known. Please ask the administrator of the
VPN server for the authentication and configuration files.
