WALL IE, the new Industrial Ethernet Bridge and Firewall, simply integrates your machinery network into the higher-level production network. A package filter protects the networks from unauthorized access. If identical IP address ranges are to be realized, WALL IE functions as a bridge. 

The router operating mode serves the forwarding of the data traffic between various IPv4 networks. It enables the address translation via NAT and uses package filters for the limitation of access to the automation network located behind.
In the bridge operating mode, WALL IE acts as a layer 2 switch. In contrast with normal switches, however, package filtering is also possible in this operating mode. This means that the restriction of access to individual areas of your network can be achieved without having to use different networks for this purpose.
WALL IE is industry-compatible, robust, and suitable for installation on the DIN rail.
