LAN Connection
To fully realize the potential of the networking features offered by the FAAST detec-
tor, connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) is recommended. When connected
to a LAN, other computers can connect to the detector for remote monitoring ei-
ther using a Web browser or the PipeIQ software. If remote access to a LAN is
provided by a Virtual Private Network (VPN), this remote monitoring can take place
from virtually anywhere you can access the Internet. If an e-mail server resides in
the LAN, FAAST can be configured to forward e-mail notifications via this server.
Connecting the FAAST detector to a LAN requires knowledge of the local network
topology, configuration, and security policy. With this information, the appropriate
IP and e-mail settings for the FAAST detector can be selected. Because network-
ing environments vary widely, your local IT professional will be in the best position
to integrate the detector into existing infrastructure. If you are unsure how to pro-
ceed with a permanent network deployment, contact your network administrator
for assistance.
