Setting Up a Gateway
If you are using Ethernet connections and a network, you can create a gateway to other sites. A
gateway is an IP address through which devices not on the current network can enter and access the
network. For example, if several facilities are in different geographical locations, a gateway enables
one facility to talk to routers at another facility.
To set up a gateway, an IP address is entered for the gateway on each, individual control card. This
enables you to limit access to control cards on a one-by-one basis.
How to Set Up a Gateway
