Kernel Date Displays the date of the operating system kernel the unit is running Upload New Firmware File Enter the update file name or you may use the browse button to locate the file from your hard drive. Updates can be done if Remote Administration is enabled. Progress Displays the update progress after the Save button has been pressed.
4 4.1 Upload Button After selecting the firmware configuration filename above, press the Upload button to begin the configuration loading process. Save Returns a link to the configuration file on the unit. Right-click the link and select "Save Target As..." to save the file. The link page refreshes after 15 seconds. It is recommended to use the specified filename to save the file. If multiple files need to be maintained, it is recommended to use directory paths to separate the files.
By changing the subnet mask, the network can be made to include as many or as few IP addresses as desired. Ethernet devices can only talk directly to other devices that have IP addresses within the same IP subnet. For example, Computer #1 from the example above can only talk with locally connected devices that have IP addresses between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254. When Computer #1 wants to talk to another server on the Internet, it will send its data packet to the local gateway.
Port forwarding is essential for field applications that use polling that is initiated by a polling master. The port forwarding function allows the polling master to establish a data connection through the Internet. The incoming polling message is forwarded by the Vanguard to the appropriate PLC or RTU on the Vanguard’s local area network. 4.5 DMZ Alternately, DMZ can be enabled on the Vanguard radio.
6 BENEFITS OF IPSEC IPSec (Internet Protocol Security Standard) is an industry driven standard that ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of an IP network. IPSec is a key component of this standard-based, flexible solution for deploying a network-wide policy. There are two significant benefits to IPSec compliance for our customers: enhanced security features and interoperability.
