Craft Works Interface Quick Start Guide

You must open the ports listed in Table 13 when configuring the firewall. See the firewall documentation for information on

opening the ports.

For an example of a dual-homed device configuration, the client side is the primary interface, and the router side is the secondary

interface (see Figure 9). When setting the minimum router configuration, you must use the dual-homed device router side

(secondary) IP address and DNS name when configuring the IP hostname for the CWI client. This mapping is required for the

client to view the notifications from the router received by the dual-homed instance of CWI.

Figure 9 Dual-Homed Device Configuration

A primary goal of CWI is to communicate with a device in any state by dynamically supporting three operational modes (see

Table 14). CWI can manage multiple devices with different modes simultaneously.

The three different login modes are based on the following requirements:

• Connection methods

• MGBL-PIE files (installed or not installed). MGBL refers to Manageability. PIE refers to Package Installation Envelope.

VPN When setting the minimum router configuration, you must use the client Virtual Private

Network (VPN) IP address and Domain Name Server (DNS) name instead of the client IP

address and DNS name when configuring the IP hostname for the CWI client. This mapping

is required for the client to receive notifications from the router.

If you have a VPN, you can use the basic or SSL encryption configuration.

Dual-Homed Dual-homed devices are used to bridge two networks. You can run an instance of CWI on the

dual-homed device so that you can access the secondary network. You need terminal services

or X-client software to run the CWI graphical application from the client PC. A dual-homed

device contains a client-side interface (IP address) and router-side interface (IP address).

If you have a dual-homed device in your network, you can use the standard or SSL encryption

configuration. See Figure 9 for an example.
