Local Device Users can locally add or remove Ethernet devices that are available for remote access. After modifying the local device list, the MRC gateway will automatically push the configuration back to the MRC server. NOTE The MRC gateway must have the capability to access the Internet when performing this configuration. - Page 38 Moxa Remote Connect Gateway Local Device Users can also setup service-based access control of the devices. For example, you can limit the HTTP web service of the local device so that only Engineer A can have access to it. Therefore, other engineers will not be able to access that device’s HTTP web service.
