5.1.4. Onsite Indication & Key
For greater physical security, these settings make it possible to locally enable/disable the remote access
functionality directly from hardware, and to also get visual indication of whether or not there is an active
connection. This allows e.g. an operator on site to temporarily enable the remote access connection to
allow work to be performed on the device remotely, by e.g. a maintenance technician. When the remote
access connection is no longer required, the operator can simply disable the function again. To enable
these functions, see the instructions below.
Key
The key function is enabled by throwing the upper switch, as shown above (“The system must be un-
locked...”). The key should be wired to the Netbiter EasyConnect Gateway as shown in this diagram.
Onsite Indication
To provide visual confirmation of the ON/OFF status of the remote access connection, throw the
switch for “Use the relay output...” and then connect a lamp or some other indication device to the
relay output on the Netbiter EasyConnect Gateway, as shown here.

Region
To improve response times between the communication points involved in a remote access configura-
tion, select the server location closest to where the Netbiter Gateway is physically located. Click the Save
button. This server is the tunnel server used to provide the secure communication.
