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”

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.
