Answer
When using a network connection via
the internet, a global IP address is
required.
A variable global IP address can also be
used, but each time the global IP
address changes, you must reset the
settings, which is inconvenient. We
recommend using a fixed global IP
address.
Even with a variable global IP address,
the inconvenience of resetting the
settings can be eliminated by using a
dynamic DNS service, which can be
used in the same way as a fixed global
IP address.
If you can obtain a fixed global IP
address, yes.
If using a type with the broadband
router built into the cable model, it is
possible if port forwarding settings can
be made.
A proxy and firewall environments
cannot be used.
Both the host station and the remote
station can be used only on general
home network environments.
We do not recommend this, as line
speeds are not fixed for best effort-type
wireless.
