6.3 Placing Your Device on the Network
In many corporate settings, users are isolated from the Internet by a firewall and/or a
proxy server. These devices attempt to secure the company from unauthorized network
traffic, and usually work by disallowing traffic that did not originate from inside the net-
work. If you want users on the Internet to communicate with your RCM4000, you have
several options. You can either place the RCM4000 directly on the Internet with a real
Internet address or place it behind the firewall. If you place the RCM4000 behind the fire-
wall, you need to configure the firewall to translate and forward packets from the Internet
to the RCM4000.
