Router Firewall Settings

The StrideLinx router's advanced built-in firewall completely separates
its WAN network (company network) from its LAN network (machine
network). It blocks all communication except for authorized and encrypted data verified
by a valid identity certificate. This means that only authorized users can access the machine
network via StrideLinx Cloud. Please see the linked Online Help article for a more detailed
explanation of how it works.
To change the firewall permissions, do the following.
1. In the Fleet Manager menu, select Devices
2. Expand the Network
3. The table below outlines the firewall settings.

Router Firewall Settings

Allow access to corporate network: Enable to allow your equipment on the machine side of the
StrideLinx router to access devices on the local network outside the router.
Allow access to internet: Enable to allow your equipment on the machine side of the StrideLinx router to
access the internet through the router.
Allow devices on your local network to access equipment on the machine side of the router by setting up
port forwarding. For each machine to be accessed, you will need to set up the following.
External port: All incoming network traffic at this port (at router's WAN address) will be forwarded.
Target IP address: The IP address to which the traffic needs to be forwarded.
Target port: The port number to which the traffic needs to be forwarded. Often the same as the
"External port", unless you are setting up multiple machines with the same type of connection.
Traffic coming in via the VPN connection, going to the LAN network of the router, is allowed. Remotely
you can access all devices that are connected to the LAN (machine side) network of the router as if you
were directly connected to the LAN.
, then click the name of your router.
