Answer
When using a network connection
via the Internet, a global IP address
is required.
A variable global IP address can
also be used, but each time the
global IP address changes, you
must reset the settings, which is
inconvenient. We recommend using
a fixed global IP address.
Even with a variable global IP
address, the inconvenience of
resetting the settings can be
eliminated by using a dynamic DNS
service, which can be used in the
same way as a fixed global IP
address.
If you can obtain a fixed global IP
address, yes.
If using a type with the broadband
router built into the cable model, it
is possible if you can make the port
forwarding settings.
A proxy and firewall environments
cannot be used.
Both the host station and the
remote station can be used only on
general home network
environments.
We do not recommend this, as line
speeds are not fixed for best
effort-type wireless.
