5 Configure with NetCom Manager
5.4 NetCom Server Settings – Firewall
Many networks use a Firewall to protect the stations in the network from other networks, including
the Internet. In some situations the contact to a NetCom
+
must pass through such a Firewall
configured for NAT (Network Address Translation, section
15
).
Figure 53: NetCom Manager Server Settings - Firewall
To do this you must
Enable Firewall
, and enter the
Address
of the Firewall. The address may
be the IP Address, or the Qualified Domain Name (DNS).
The Manager configures a NetCom
+
via SNMP, which uses UDP. The Firewall must have a special
Port
to receive those data, and to transfer it to the internal network. Enter this port here.
The same scheme applies to the logging option. When logging is active a NetCom
+
listens on
port 1200 for logging connections. The Firewall must also have a special
Log Port
to receive this
connection, and to transfer it to the NetCom
+
.
The NetCom
+
does not need any configuration to operate in a Firewall protected environment.
This configuration here is for installation of the drivers. There is a Firewall tutorial section later
in this manual (
5.6
).
