 ===== LAN and WAN interfaces =====
 **In any** project for WebHMI you have to connect to local network or Internet. There are several options how to do this, and the most reliable is wired Ethernet.
-WEBHMI has 2 RJ45 network connectors labeled LAN and WAN. By default, the LAN is configured as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | DHCP]]-server that automatically distributes network settings to the connected devices, and WAN as a DHCP client focused on connecting to a network that already has a A DHCP server, for example, a router distributing the Internet. In addition, WAN Firewall settings forbid all incoming connectoins from WAN network, and therefore access to WebHMI's web-interface is possible only from LAN. [1]. You can change the current settings using the **Network setup** section, which you can access via the link on the authorization page or from the //Setup/Network// setup menu after logging in:
