Introduction Moxa Remote Connect (MRC) is an easy-to-use, secure, and versatile networking solution designed to seamlessly bridge field devices, engineers, and application servers together over the Internet for industrial applications. The solution combines MRC Server, MRC Gateway, and MRC Client. The MRC Server is a connection management platform that determines how the MRC Gateways and MRC Clients are related. The MRC Gateway is a secure gateway that connects Ethernet-ready devices to MRC server portals. The MRC Client is a software tool for connecting an engineer’s laptop to the MRC server portal. The MRC Server administrator manages all of these connections through a secure HTTPS web console.
