5.2.3 Master IP
When the unit is not in Stand Alone mode, then this field displays the IP
number of system that is mastering the QuadCore. Refer to chapter 6 for more
information on operating modes.
5.3 Access via Internet
The QuadCore can be accessed through the Internet. There are two ways to
achieve this: Port Forwarding and VPN.
Port Forwarding Is relatively easy to setup in the router. Each router
is different so it is advised to consult the router's documentation (some-
times it is revered to as NAT or Port-Redirecting). Please note that port
forwarding is not secure, since anybody could access the QuadCore this
way.
Accessing via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel requires more
setup efforts, also the router needs to support the VPN feature. Once set
up, this is a very secure way to communicate with the QuadCore. A VPN
is a network technology that creates a secure network connection over a
public network such as the Internet or a private network owned by a service
provider. Large corporations, educational institutions, and government
agencies use VPN technology to enable remote users to securely connect
to a private network. For further information about VPN please refer to
