display object specific item parameters.

▪ Section “Properties”

All items with an “Edit Icon” (except

parameter Activation code) can be

edited to store individual data to this

object. These parameters (text-based

fields) are used only for information.

They have no relevance regarding the

remote access functionality.

▪ Section „Actions“

By default the 2 actions

Connect VPN Router ↔ u-link and

Connect VPN PC ↔ u-link ↔ Router

are predefined.

First action can be used to start a VPN

connection on the Router to the u-link

VPN Server remotely from the u-link

Portal (via WWH function).

Second action will be used to initiate a

VPN pass-through connection from a

Service PC via u-link VPN Server to the

Router (to access remote devices).

Via button „Add“ customized actions

(currently only http/https based calls)

can be defined and started via mouse

click).

Note: Actions are only active in menu

„Service Desk“

▪ Section “Documents”

Storing/Retrieving documents (any file type)

assigned to this object. Can be done by all

u-link account users.

▪ Section „Comments“

Creating any comments (information) to this

object. Useable by all u-link account users.

Screenshot shows initial

data after creating this

Router/Firewall object.

The displayed activation code (not

changeable) is unique for each defined

Router object. Via “Edit Icon” the

activation code can be released for

additional use (for example in case of

replacement of a defective Router).

Note:

For preparing a remote access session via a Router

(which will be assigned to this Router object) you only

need the activation code. Copy and save this activation

code which later is necessary when preparing the physical

Router for u-link access.

For a remote access session it is not necessary to edit

anything. But we recommend to edit the text-based fields

in section “Properties” to better identify the defined object.
