# Other Devices

The Other Devices page allows you to create a connection between the production network and devices on the subnet of an EI Tunnel Manager unit. The connection uses port forwarding to access the device through the IP address of the EI Tunnel Manager unit. Using this method, you can connect to devices such as a reader, dimensioner, network switch, or computer.

The following examples are typical use cases for port forwarding:

- Accessing the WebHMI of a DataMan reader or a 3D-A1000 dimensioner

- Connecting to a laptop through remote desktop

## Features of the Other Devices User Interface

At first, the Other Devices page only provides an option to create a new connection. The connections you create appear in a list along with their name and network details. The list provides options to edit, delete, access, or filter your connections.
