You can select which network card your programming station communicates with, and the port forwarding option, by configuring the connections in Config Tool.
What you should know
- The plugin uses Security Center networks to determine the plugin server IP. If a public address is configured in the network where the plugin resides, you must configure a port mapping from the given port of the public address to the plugin. If the plugin and workstation both reside on the same side of the firewall, the network hardware must support NAT hairpinning.
- If you want to use port forwarding, note that you can only configure the connection parameters from the plugin. The forwarding functions must be configured by your IT department.
Procedure
-
In the Plugins task, select the plugin role from the entity
browser, click the Resources tab, and then click
Advanced (
).
-
From the Network card list, select an available network card, or
Any.
If you choose Any, the plugin selects the first available network card in numerical order from the Private addresses list in Genetec™ Server Admin. If the checkbox for one card is selected, that card will be used. If more than one card is selected, the plugin will choose the first available selected card in numerical order.

(Optional) If port forwarding is enabled, configure the port forwarding
