6.7 Proxy
The proxy feature allows you to access a ZonePRO over a complex or remote network. An
example of this is when the PC and the ZonePRO reside on different subnets. The mechanism
that is used by default for the ZonePRO designer software to discover and maintain a
connection to the ZonePRO devices utilizes IP broadcast packets. These packets will not travel
through internet routers and even some high end core switches. In order to connect to one
or more ZonePROs that are attached to a complex network, proxy is used to tell the ZonePRO
Designer software where on the network to look for the ZonePRO devices.
There only needs to be one proxy setup for each group of ZonePROs that are on the same
local network. The device that is the proxy will pass information to the other ZonePROs that it
sees on the network that will allow them to connect to the ZonePRO Designer software.
Follow these steps to setup a proxy connection:
1.
Make sure that the ZonePRO has been correctly configured for the network that it is on
and that the PC that is running the ZonePRO Designer software has a network connection
to that ZonePRO device. You should be able to ping the ZonePRO from the Windows
computer.
2. Select “Properties” from the Network menu of the main ZonePRO Designer window.
3. Make sure that “Use Ethernet” is selected.
4. Select “Advanced” .
5. Click the “Add” button. The Add Proxy window will appear.
6. Enter the IP address or a host name for one of the ZonePRO devices on the remote
network and click “
OK”
.
7.
Press the
“Finish”
button to close the properties window.
8.
Select
“Go Online”
from the Network menu. After a moment you will see your devices
appear in the main ZonePRO Designer window. This indicates that you are online and the
ZonePRO Designer software has discovered the ZonePRO devices.
If the ZonePRO Designer software can not establish a connection with the proxy you will
receive a failure message after about one minute of trying to connect.
Proxy can be used to allow remote access to monitor and make minor changes to any ZonePRO
that is accessible from the internet. There are some things that can not be done over a proxy
connection. For example, it is not possible for you to change the IP or Node addresses over a
proxy connection. Proxy is not intended for initial setup of any ZonePRO, it can only be used
for remote monitoring and minor maintenance.
