1. What is eFive 100 ?
This Installation Guide describes the hardware and software installation of the VPN server
platform eFive 100.
eFive 100 is a rackmount hardware platform featuring a Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway
with OpenVPN. It has been designed to be a perfect match with the eWON range to build a VPN
network. The eFive 100 acts as OpenVPN Server and the eWONs as OpenVPN Clients.
The model eFive 100 is designed to support up to
200 VPN clients
. For smaller configurations
there is the eFive 25 (see IG-012-0-EN).
The objective is to connect for example a SCADA PC to the PLC devices behind the eWON.
The SCADA PC makes part of the LAN network of the eFive and has the eFive as default
Gateway. When the VPN connection is established between the eWON and the eFive, the eFive
routes the requests from the SCADA to the network behind the eWON.
An example of typical IP address configuration is given in the picture below. The System and VPN
configuration to reach this objective are described in the user guide AUG-050-0-EN (eFive system
and VPN configuration). This guide is available on the eWON support site
