B. WHAT IS PROXY?

The Broadcast-Proxy (in the following PROXY) is a solution to operate devices in separate subnets with a common NETMAN.

The PROXY answers the broadcast requests of local devices with the destination address of a NETMAN running in another network.

Private resp. domain network

Open Ports: 23232 23231

LAN

always active

IP: 192.168.1xxx

LAN

192.168.1.xxx Subnet

192.168.8.xxx Subnet

In the picture the NETMAN is installed in network 1 on the server with address 192.168.1.1. Devices in network 1 locate the NETMAN directly via a broadcast.

Network 2 is connected via a router. In this second network, the PROXY runs on the computer with address 192.168.8.1. Local broadcast requests of devices in network 2 are answered by the PROXY with the configured address 192.168.1.1.

The PROXY checks periodically whether the NETMAN in network 1 is reachable. If the NETMAN is not available, no broadcast requests are answered.

B.1. Field of application and limits

The PROXY is suitable for connecting smaller branch networks to the main network of a car repair shop, which all work with the same DMS. Likewise, an employee who connects via VPN can get access to the company's NETMAN. The PROXY is not suitable for operating several branches with a central NETMAN! In this case the orders of all branches would mix and become visible at all test devices. This should be avoided at all costs, both in terms of network load and organizational aspects.
