Please note: Please observe the safety instructions for the product, which can be found in the manual. It can be downloaded from the website www.helmholz.com in the download area. This document should explain the initial commissioning of the WALL IE on the basis of simple examples from network technology. P1: WAN Port FCN: Function Button P2—P4: LAN Ports...
3. Initial access to the web interface The WALL IE is set on the LAN-side at the factory with the IP address 192.168.0.100 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Access to the web interface is only possible via the LAN connections P2- P4.
You will be prompted to set a password with the initial registration. With the „Con- tinue“ button, the password is stored in the device and you will be forwarded to the „Overview“ page of the WALL IE. The main user is always „admin“. Another user administration hasn‘t been imple- mented yet.
5. The bridge mode In the bridge operating mode, WALL IE behaves like a layer 2 switch between the automation cell (LAN) and the production network (WAN). The packet fi lter can be used to limit access between the two areas.
Switch the WALL IE to the bridge mode via „Device Operating Mode Bridge“. In the bridge mode, the IP address of the WAN interface is the same as the IP address of the LAN interface. It is thus transparent.

In the NAT operating mode, WALL IE forwards the data transfer between various IPv4 networks (Layer 3) and implements the IP addresses with the help of NAT. The packet fi lter can also be used.
192.168.10.0/24 Setting up „Basic NAT“ rules In order that the entry of „Basic NAT rules“ is possible, WALL IE must be in the opera- ting mode „NAT“. Select the „NAT“ menu and the sub-menu „Basic NAT“. Enter the fi rst rule and save it with the button Each entry is confi rmed with „Rule added successfully“.
„NAPT for LAN to WAN traffic“ replaces the sender addresses of queries from the automation cell with the address of the WALL IE („Source NAT“). If the option is deactivated, the query packets are forwarded to the WAN with their original sender IPs.
With the help of port forwarding („Port forwarding for WAN to LAN traffi c“), it can be confi gured that packets at a certain TCP/UDP port of the WALL IE (WAN) can be forwarded to a participant in the automation cell (LAN) (e.g. 10.10.1.1:81 to 192.168.10.1:80).

Static routes are only supported in the NAT operating mode. A static route can be set up via „Network Static route“. In the example above, the static route to the right WALL IE with the IP 10.0.0.105 is entered in the left WALL IE for queries to 192.168.20.x.
Note: In the case of devices in the internal network (LAN) that should reach other net- works, the LAN IP address of the WALL IE is entered as a gateway. If the opposite side of the static route is also a WALL IE, a static route for the return path must also be entered there.
