Up to know we have always used Siemens modems (on analog telephone line) to do remote maintenance on our machines abroad.
But these things are rather slow (and expensive in use) especially when downloading larger panels.
We are looking for connection over the internet. As I heard you need VPN security. This should be something that the client would do : I think some configuration and or a program on their surver or a router with vpn functionality. In many cases it is a hard job to convince customers to do that. Isn't there an easier solition, like a router in the cabinet (that isn't too expensive), and if this would exist can this thing be plugged directly onto the plant network? A quick search on the internet showed me this datasheet :

Anybody experience in this matter? Do you use internet remote service?
Thanks.
