    1 Introduction / Overview 1.1 Product Description This manual covers the installation and operation of the AX-LAN (ipGateway). The AX-LAN, ipGateway, connects to an Axis Ad-NeT-PluS network providing a gateway to the Axis Ad-NeT- PluS network from any remote location via the internet. By gathering real time information from the Axis Ad-NeT- PluS network, the AX-LAN, ipGateway, gives a visual indication of the state of the network through a standard web browser with the state of each device being displayed in a clear and concise manner.
