The WAN and LAN side of the IXrouter are separated by the internal firewall. However, you can change the LAN to WAN access rules. You have the option to allow access to the internet, for example when you are on-site and need to look up manuals or a PLC needs to send e-mails. You can also allow access to the corporate network, for example when a PLC needs to store data on a local FTP server. Additionally, if your IXrouter supports a Wi-Fi functionality, you can use it's Wi-Fi hotspot to set up a wireless (internet) connection.
