[labnetwork] Static IP Addresses needed for hardware interlocks

[Shuyou Li]

Hi Julia,

Just to confirm that FOM does support port mapping. For example, you are given only one static IP address 111.112.113.114, and you have five interlocks in a single lab to be configured. You buy a router with its outfacing IP set with the give static IP, internal IP set to 192.168.0.254, and then configure port mapping on the router to have 111.112.113.114:8001 mapped to 192.168.0.101, 111.112.113.114:8002 mapped to 192.168.0.102, and so on. Now you can set the IP addresses of the interlocks as 192.168.0.101, 192.168.0.102, etc. In FOM relay IP address you just enter 111.112.113.114:8001 and the traffic will be redirected to 192.168.0.101. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us at info at fomnetworks.com.

Thanks,
Shuyou

Thanks Michael.  I will let our engineer answer your question for I am not sure and she has set up our FOM system.


Cheers!

We have the same problem of running out of IPv4 addresses. We started using a router to do port forwarding from the control system (Badger, similar to Coral) to the ethernet relays. The control system, running on AWS, needs just one ip address, blessed and approved by our IT department. The router gets messages on different ports, then maps ports onto the internal IP addresses of the relays. It works a lot like your home wireless router, but with the local addresses set to fixed values. The router connects by wifi to some relays, and by hardwire to others.

This requires the controller to allow address:port addressing, which is easy in Badger. Does FOM let you do the same thing?

We utilize a large array of hardware interlocks within our equipment fleet that interfaces with our software for access, training requests, reservations, invoicing, etc. Each of these relay boxes requires a static IP address.  With recent security certificate requirements in our institution getting a static IP address for new systems is becoming very arduous.



Are there alternatives out there beyond the requirement of a static IP address that address current security requirements?



Cheers!
