Connection Methods
You can connect to your Nokia IP40 Security Platform locally through LAN, WAN, DMZ, or
console ports for Inband management. You can also connect from a remote location by using
modem dial-in for out-of-band management (OOB).
For information about how to use OOB to configure your device, see
Through Out-of-Band Management"
Typically the WAN port for your device is connected to your Internet service provider (ISP),
while the LAN port is connected to your computer, or to a hub, if you are using IP40 between
your computer network and the outside world. You can connect your computer to the console
port of your IP40 to manage the device by using the command-line interface (CLI).
