A.4 Firewall Settings
It is recommended to use a firewall between the Internet and the MindConnect Elements,
this is also recommended for communication to the automation network.
In the direction to Automation Network a firewall supporting NAPT (in case of DMZ, see
section “List of abbreviations”) or supporting the “Ghost-Mode” is required. Siemens offers
many types of Firewalls for fulfilling these requirements.
