Issue
How to enable upstream network access on the Com'X 510 energy server?
Product Line
Com'X 510
Environment
Web server
Resolution
- In Firewall Management, you can enable upstream network access
- This allows downstream devices to access servers (such as DNS, SNTP, and SMTP) on the upstream network
- The table below describes the downstream interface (where the message originated) and the upstream interface on which the message will be forwarded, based on your network selection
| Network Option | Downstream (from) | Upstream (to) |
| GPRS/3G only | Ethernet Port 2 | GPRS/3G |
| GPRS/3G and switched network | -- | -- |
| Wi-Fi only | Ethernet Port 2 | Wi-Fi |
| Wi-Fi and switched network | -- | -- |
| 2 Switched Ports (1 IP address for both) | Upstream network access not available | |
| 2 Separate Ports (1 IP address for each) | Ethernet Port 2 | Ethernet Port 1 |
- For example, with the Com’X configured to use two separate Ethernet ports, an IFE connected downstream on Com’X Ethernet Port 2 can send emails to EcoStruxure Facility Expert through Ethernet Port 1
- Upstream network access is disabled by default. When enabled, access adapts to the network configuration in Network Settings
- Go to Com'X 510 web server > Settings >Security > Firewall Management > Network Access > set Enable Upstream Network Access to Yes
- If Network Access settings are not found on the Settings >Security >Firewall Management page, check the firmware version. The firmware must be 5.2.0 or later to enable upstream network access functionality.
- To download the latest firmware version, refer to FA274919
