NiagaraAX host networking technologies
Networking technologies that are associated with NiagaraAX hosts, include the following:
Ethernet: QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
Ethernet is required for NiagaraAX hosts for configuration.
TCP/IP (IPv4): QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
TCP/IP is required for NiagaraAX hosts for configuration. TCP/IP use includes:
Public IP Address: QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
Public IP Address is required for any NiagaraAX host that must be reached from the Internet.
DHCP: QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
DHCP is supported on these hosts, however, in most NiagaraAX architectures, hosts require a static IP address to facilitate data passing.
HOSTS file: QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
HOSTS files are local to each host, so they do not require dependency on a remote server for name resolution. Therefore, they are the recommended method for name resolution for NiagaraAX hosts.
DNS: Win32-based hosts
DNS is supported in NiagaraAX, Win32-based hosts. However, the most reliable connectivity to other NiagaraAX hosts is provided through the use of a HOSTS file on each NiagaraAX station.
WINS: Win32-based hosts
WINS is supported in NiagaraAX, Win32-based hosts. However, the most reliable connectivity to other NiagaraAX hosts is provided through the use of a HOSTS file on each NiagaraAX station.
DDNS: QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
DDNS is available for NiagaraAX, Win32-based hosts (using Windows DDNS) and for QNX JACEs using a third party DDNS such as tzo.com.
Network Address Translation (NAT): QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
Network Address Translation is supported on all NiagaraAX host operating systems.
Proxy Servers: QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
Communication via proxy servers are supported on all NiagaraAX host operating systems.
Firewalls: QNX-based and Win32-based hosts
NiagaraAX hosts operate well in many firewall environments, provided that are configured properly.
