Question Answer
When the KNS connection is via the internet,
a global IP address is required.
You can use it even if the global IP address is
variable, but it is inconvenient to set the IP
address again each time the global IP address
changes. We recommend using a fixed global
IP address.
Even in the case of a variable global IP
address, using the dynamic DNS service
eliminates the effort of resetting the IP
address and can be used in the same way as
in the case of the fixed global IP address.
If you can obtain a fixed global IP address,
you can use KNS connection via the Internet.
If you are using a type with a built-in
broadband router in the cable model, you can
use KNS connection via the Internet if you can
set port forwarding.
In environments with Proxy and firewall, KNS
connection via the Internet cannot be used.
KNS connection via the Internet can be used
only in the general home network
environments for both host station and
remote station.
For wireless best-effort type, it is not
recommended because line speed is not
constant.
