SECURE COMMUNICATION AND SIMPLE ADDRESSING WALL IE – Industrial NAT gateway / firewall

Product catalog summary
Overview: The WALL IE is an industrial NAT gateway and firewall designed to secure communication and simplify addressing within production networks. It offers packet filtering, NAT functionality, and easy integration into higher-level networks.
Packet Filter Functionality: The packet filter limits access between the production network and the automation cell. It can be configured to allow only specific participants to exchange data. Available filter criteria include IPV4 addresses, protocol (TCP/UDP), ports, and MAC addresses.
NAT Operating Mode: The NAT mode facilitates data traffic forwarding between different IPv4 networks. Basic NAT, also known as 1:1 NAT or Static NAT, translates individual IP addresses or complete address ranges at the IP level, allowing all ports to be addressed without explicit forwarding.
Bridge and NAT Functionality: WALL IE supports 100 Mbps industrial Ethernet, easy IP integration, and access restriction through packet filters. It reduces network load by filtering broadcasts and multicasts and offers quick configuration via a web interface.
NAT Application: WALL IE uses NAT to incorporate multiple automation cells with the same address range into a production network, avoiding address collisions. Static routes are used for communication with other automation cells.
NAPT: Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) translates all addresses of the automation cell into a single address of the production network, using port forwarding for specific TCP/UDP ports.
Bridge Operating Mode: In bridge mode, WALL IE acts as a layer 2 switch, allowing packet filtering to limit access between the automation cell and the production network.
Technical Data: The device dimensions are 35 x 59 x 75 mm, with a weight of approximately 130 g. It includes 1 WAN and 3 LAN interfaces, supports bridge and NAT modes, and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C. It is certified with CE and UL standards.
Configuration and Security: Configuration is accessible via a password-protected HTTPS website, supporting three user levels. The configuration can be exported and imported, and the device supports a Syslog server for diagnostics and monitoring.

SECURE COMMUNICATION AND SIMPLE ADDRESSING WALL IE – Industrial NAT gateway / firewall-3

Company network When several automation cells with the same address range are to be incorporated into a production network, this can result in collisions, as the addresses in the entire network are not unambiguous. External NAPT, also known as “1:N NAT” or “Masquerading”, is the translation of all addresses of the automation cell into a single address of the production network. The sender addresses of packages from the automation cell are replaced by these. With the help of port forwarding, it can be conigured that packets at a certain TCP/UDP port of of this address can be forwarded to a participant...

SECURE COMMUNICATION AND SIMPLE ADDRESSING WALL IE – Industrial NAT gateway / firewall-4

WALL IE — WEB INTERFACE The coniguration of the WALL IE can be carried out easily and in a well-structured fashion with the integrated website. The website, which is accessible via HTTPS, is password-protected and supports three different user levels (administrator, IT admin and machine user) with different access rights. For the purposes of protecting access to the website, an own HTTPS certiicate can then be adopted into the device. Once set, the coniguration can be exported and imported in a readable and editable format. WALL IE devices can thus also be conigured once and reproduced. For expanded...
