Local Interfaces
Port forwarding
In the gateway mode of operation the Z45 Controller routes data to and from the wireless network IP
connection to a class C range of local (private) IP addresses available on the RJ45 Ethernet connector.
To accomplish this the Port Forwarding screen allows you to forward WAN side IP traffic arriving on a
specific IP Port to a specific Port at a designated LAN side address. In addition, this screen also allows
you to make a named (advertised) service available over the WAN interface.
Each forwarding rules consists of the following field:
Service Name: A name that is associated with a service advertised on the Quick Panel of the
n
WAN interface
Forwarding From: The inbound (WAN side) port number managing the traffic
n
Local Port: The port number on the LAN side that the traffic will be routed to
n
Local IP: The IP address on the LAN side that the traffic will be routed to. Must be part of the
n
class C range defined in the Ethernet Interface screen.
Advertise: Yes or no
n
Protocol: TCP, UDP, or both
n
Enable: Make the rule active (Yes/No)

RS232/RS485 Ports
The RS232/RS485 screen is used to configure the physical (electrical and timing) characteristics of the
serial ports. The serial ports can be connected to the TCP/UDP PAD function for WAN transmission or
to various protocols used by Automation Control.
RS232/RS485 Options
The screens under this function are used to configure the serial (TCP/UDP/PPP) pad function.
