22 Wecon VPN pass-through currently supports the following three pass-through modes：

24 * Ethernet (Networking)
25 * WIFI (Networking) +Ethernet
26 * 4G (Networking) +Ethernet

63 **Functional overview**
64
65 VPN pass-through is to add PC to the Local Area Network where the device is located. It can be imagined that PC "replaces" the device at this time, and PC can access any PLC in this Local Area Network where the device is located.

84 * Click Start pass-through, proceed VPN pass-through according to the setting LAN pass-through IP
85 * Click End pass-through to end VPN pass-through
86 * When the device is offline, the Start pass-through button cannot be clicked
87 * When the firmware version of the device is too low, the Start pass-through button cannot be clicked
88 * The current account does not have the permission of pass-through to this device or the device is shared by others, the Start pass-through button cannot be clicked
89 * When the current account has a device being pass-through, the Start pass-through button cannot be clicked
90 * (((
91 After clicking the Start pass-through button, the pass-through is successful, the button changes to End pass-through, and the device status color on the left side changes to yellow

104 === **Status type** ===
105
106 There are 5 status of device in the Wecon VPN pass-through tool.
107
108 * Offline(Gray): Pass-through cannot be performed.
109 * Online(Green): Pass-through can be performed.
110 * Being in VPN pass-through(Yellow): In the status of VPN pass-through.
111 * Reconnecting VPN pass-through(Red): Due to network or other reasons, VPN pass-through is reconnecting.
112 * Ending VPN pass-through(Blue): VPN pass-through is ending.

116 Select device in the device list. You can select "DHCP" or "Static IP".
117
118 * If you select "DHCP", during pass-through, the PC will negotiate with the V-BOX to obtain an available IP address of PC without user intervention.
119 * If "Static IP" is selected, the user needs to fill in the pass-through IP of the PC manually, which will be used for pass-through.

125 **How to choose the pass-through IP of the PC.**
126
127 For PLC and PC LANs using the different network segment.
128
129 * The PLC is directly connected to the V-BOX, and all IPs that are not used by the PLC can be used in the network segment where the PLC is located.
130 * The PLC and V-BOX are connected through a router or switch, and all free IPs not used by the PLC and other devices on the network where the PLC is located can be used in the network segment where the PLC is located.
131
132 For PLC and PC LANs using the same network segment.
133
134 * The PLC is directly connected to the V-BOX and all free IPs not used by the PLC and other devices on the network where the PLC is located can be used within the network segment where the PLC is located.
135 * The PLC and V-BOX are connected through a router or switch, and all free IPs in the network segment where the PLC is located that are not used by the PLC, other devices on the network where the PLC is located, and other devices on the network where the PC is located can be used.

138 **✎Note:** If the selected IP address is occupied, the pass-through function will be failed.
