Selecting the Access via VPN from the Online System tree presents the below screen. From here you may connect, configure and diagnose ConveyLinx devices remotely via a pre-configured VPN server. It is useful when the user is wants to work with VPN connected devices, or if the internal network and firewalls is very limiting in regard to the network
traffic but needs to configure or diagnose a system. Pre-configuring the VPN server is a responsibility to the interested party’s network administrator and is not part of this guide. Once you have modules added here they will not need to be added again unless specifically removed.

Item	Function	Description
	Access via VPN	● Right clicking opens a context menu with “Add Module”, and “Add Range” which is a range of modules within a subnet
	Add Modules	● Clicking will bring up a window to input the IP address ● Adding modules to the network while connecting over VPN requires this manual entry since the otherwise available “Discover” functionality does not work in this case
	Add Range of Modules	● Click to include multiple modules at once, by specifying the range of their IP addresses
	Modules	● Displays the added modules of the VPN connected network and their type, serial number, and firmware version ● Right clicking provides an option to remove a module from the VPN Access
	Settings of the Selected Module	● Shows existing configuration for the selected module, be cautious when changing the information for a module since it is dangerous and errors can result in the module and your subnet and any connected modules relying on the one affected ● Allows you to Set new settings, Backup the configured module settings, Restore previous settings, Restore the module by its IP address, and to upgrade the selected module

*As no network broadcasts and discovery services are available via VPN connection, there are certain limitatons when working over VPN, that the user must be aware of. The most important one is that ConveyLinx devices can’t be discovered over VPN. For this reason, the user must have prior knowledge of the network topology and IPs of the ConveyLinx devices.

!The following operations are not available over VPN access: AutoConfig, AutoReplace and SetDefaults

*To add a logical connection between 2 modules, both modules must be added

After adding modules they will appear in the list:

Item	Function	Description
	Unidentified Modules	● The first module listed has NOT been properly associated with the Ip address entered, so it shows no information since it was unable to find a module by that identifier
	Identified Modules	● The second module listed has been properly associated with the Ip address entered, and thus shows details of the module
