Device Web Pages
Introduction
This section describes the linking device web pages and some of the basic
functions as shown in the table.
Typical Applications
The linking device's web pages provide remote access to module data through the
Ethernet port. The Ethernet port has a default static IP address of 192.168.1.10,
which is intended to be used in a point-to-point connection through an Ethernet
crossover cable that directly connects a computer's Ethernet port to the linking
device's Ethernet port. If the linking device’s Ethernet port is going to be
connected to a networked environment and a custom IP address is required,
contact Rockwell Automation Technical Support for instructions on how to
change the IP address.
Use the web pages to do the following:
• Access diagnostic information. For example, generated log files that
provide useful information to both you and Rockwell Automation
Te c hn i c a l S up p o r t.
• Monitor linking device data.
• View linking device data that is not otherwise available, for example, VCRs
and the H1 Live List.
