Configure Nodes Behind Firewalls Without Direct Access

How do you configure nodes in a mesh node network that are located behind firewalls, i.e. are not directly accessible via SSH?
Via the node network itself, of course!

After selecting a node, the “NodeManager” web application offers to change the configuration of the corresponding node. There are two options here:

• Changing the settings in the Java preferences used by the node:
  
• Changing the configuration files that are read out when the node is started, and whose values are entered in the Java preferences:
  

In both cases, the change is made by message via the node network itself. The NodeManager web application also offers the option of restarting the relevant nodes after configuration.

You can therefore configure the entire network from one admin workstation.
