10 External access to
WMS WebControl via
the Tnternet
WMS devices can only be operated on the home network. Access via the
Internet is not supported by WMS WebControl. However, access is possible
using appropriate routers via VPN (e.g. Fritz!Box by AVM: www.avm.de).
10.1 What is VPO?
VPN access (VPN = Virtual Private Network) authorises the mobile device to
access the local network from the Internet.
Advantages of VPN:
Only authorised users have access to the local network.
All data are encrypted.
The data are neither modified, recorded nor diverted during transmission.
Requirements to establish a VPN connection:
Internet connection.
The mobile device and the router have been prepared for a VPN connec-
tion (i.e. VPN client has been installed).
CCAUTIO
Danger of property damage from unauthorised access to installation.
For this connection, only use a VPN access with secure encryption for
all data packets.
The necessary hardware (VPN router) and the solutions offered by
mobile network providers differ by country or region in terms of the set-
tings and technical possibilities.
Always have a specialised VPN service provider install and start up the
VPN access.
