5 Connecting Instruments to LAN
Across the WAN -- Using the Internet
Figure 27 Internet access through firewall
This topology is full internet access through firewalls; the test system
instruments are behind a different firewall on a different intranet. The
instruments must be assigned fixed and publicly known hostnames or IP
addresses. The addresses must be available through the firewalls. This
requires approval and management from the IT department. Agilent
Connection Expert may not find all of the instruments in this system
because it does not have access through the firewalls.
It can be very difficult to write test programs because locking must be
used to prevent disruption of tests.
