When using a network connection
via the internet, is KNS disabled
unless I obtain a global IP address?
When using a network connection via
the internet, a global IP address is
required.
I have a variable global IP address
for the host station. Can I still use
it?
A variable global IP address can also be
used, but each time the global IP
address changes, you must reset the
settings, which is inconvenient. We
recommend using a fixed global IP
address.
Even with a variable global IP address,
the inconvenience of resetting the
settings can be eliminated by using a
dynamic DNS service, which can be
used in the same way as a fixed global
IP address.
I use CATV internet. Can I use KNS
via the internet?
If you can obtain a fixed global IP
address, yes.
If using a type with the broadband router
built into the cable model, it is possible if
you can make the port forwarding
settings.
Can I use environments with a
proxy or firewall on the host station
or the remote station or both sides?
A proxy and firewall environments
cannot be used.
Both the host station and the remote
station can be used only on general
home network environments.
Can I use a wireless LAN or BWA
(broadband wireless access)?
We do not recommend this, as line
speeds are not fixed for best effort-type
wireless.
