Product Description 7 (34) Product Description To use all features the latest version of the CAN-Gateway Configurator as well as the latest firmware of the CAN@net NT must be installed. For documentation of firmware versions below V6 contact Ixxat support. The CAN@net NT hardware provides connectivity to Ethernet and CAN networks with various operational modes.
Product Description 8 (34) Operational Modes 4.3.1 ASCII Gateway Mode In the Gateway mode, the CAN@net NT is directly hooked to the local intranet or internet (firewall needed). This allows a TCP/UDP host within the reach of this intranet or internet to connect to the CAN@net NT and gain control of the CAN system.
