SINEMA Remote Connect
Industrial facilities are often spread over a large area. SINEMA Remote Connect
(SINEMA RC) is a management platform for remote networks that manage
centrally secure tunnel connections. In this way, widely spread-out systems or
machines can be conveniently and securely maintained, controlled, and diagnosed
via remote access. Even if the machines are integrated within foreign networks.
Such as in the facilities of machine manufacturers' end customers, for example.
The central element of SINEMA RC is a scalable server application that provides
end-to-end connection management of distributed networks via the internet. It
coordinates the secure connection setup between the individual participants:
•
control center
•
service technicians/mechanical engineers
•
machines or their VPN tunnel endpoints (e.g., SCALANCE S615, SCALANCE
SC-600 or SCALANCE M).
Communication between SINEMA RC Server and the remote participants takes
place via Layer 3 VPN tunnels, observing the stored access permissions.
The VPN tunnel endpoints are used for both network separation via firewall and for
secure remote access via VPN.
To enable a secure VPN connection, you must set up port sharing on the VPN
client side and port forwarding on the VPN server side for each of the routers. The
following FAQ shows which ports are necessary for this:
