Accessories C.2 TS Gateway What functions does the TeleService gateway provide? The TeleService gateway has the following functions: ● Switching station The TeleService gateway is a PC in the network that serves as the intermediary between the engineering station and remote S7 station. Since a firewall is normally closed for connection requests from the outside, a switching station between the remote station and the engineering station is required.

Accessories C.2 TS Gateway Main and substitute TeleService gateway If the requirements for availability are higher, you can install TS Gateway as the main or substitute gateway. If the connection via the main system cannot be established, you can establish the TeleService connection via the substitute system. In terms of the range of functions, both systems are identical and do not monitor each other.
