Both ends of the IP traffic (local and remote) must be defined so that Wanware knows what packets to send and to where. For example, you might configure Wanware so that the destination IP address 192.168.1.1 corresponds to the remote X.25 address 12345678. Likely you will also have to configure the product receiving the packets (at the remote site) is configured with the this machine's local IP address.
