This is geek stuff.
It’s stuff that I can do.
Basically I have to string two private networks together across the hospital IP network.
Using the MOXA NAT-102 is easy to set up to accomplish this.
Once done the two NATs will only be able to talk to each other. No other device on the hospital network will be able to talk to these devices and these devices won’t be able to talk to anything else on the hospital network.
Elevator B11 and the elevator monitoring system will be completely isolated from the hospital network in the sense that both are “private” networks that can only communicate with each other with the NATs functioning as the intermediaries.
It was either do it this way or spend about $7k to run wiring from elevator B11 machine room about 200 metres over to the engineer’s office.
Good thing that I’m not qualified to do this, otherwise if I was qualified to do this then I’d realize how out of my league I am and I’d have to stop.
