Advanced Ethernet Communication Settings
If your routers are on an Ethernet network, you can create a gateway to other sites. A gateway is
a device, with an IP address, through which devices on one network can access devices on
another network. For example, several facilities in different geographical locations can use a
gateway to communicate with routers at another facility.
In UniConfig, you can assign a gateway address to each control card. Thus, you can control
access to control cards on an individual basis.
The advanced Ethernet option enables the use of gateway IP addresses.
