10 Web server
This chapter describes how to use the web
server application (release 1.X). You will nd the
description of the releases 2.0 and higher in the
“u-remote web server manual” which is available
to download from the u-remote website.
With the web server, the u-remote station is displayed on
a connected PC. This allows you to carry out the following
tasks e.g. for testing purposes, during commissioning or ser-
vice:
– Simulate the operation of the u-remote station
– Query the status of each coupler and module
– Display the parameters of couplers and modules, and
change them for testing purposes
– Access diagnostic information
– Operate the station in Force mode for testing purposes
With default settings each coupler type offers web server
access only via the USB port of the coupler. For that multiple
IP addresses can be parametrized. Please note that this is a
virtual DHCP server. To avoid network disruption no other
network device with the same subnet ID should be con-
nected to the PC.
Using couplers for ethernet-based eldbus systems – recog-
nizable by the RJ45 socket – web server access can be real-
ized alternatively via ethernet (see section10.4).
Any changes of the IP settings on either USB port or ether-
net port will not be effective until restarting the coupler.
WARNING
Explosion risk!
▶ Prior to starting work, make sure that
there is not a potentially explosive atmos-
phere!
WARNING
Manipulation of the control unit!
In Force mode, the system may be manipu-
lated to such an extent that can result in life-
threatening personal injury and damage to
materials.
Only use Force mode if you are very familiar
with the connected system and know at all
times the consequences that your actions
will have!
ATTENTION
Risk of severe damage!
▶ Prior to connecting a PC, make sure that
the u-remote station has been earthed
properly!
10.1 Requirements
The u-remote station must be completely assembled and
supplied with voltage.
Operating system
The u-remote web server is designed for operation with the
Windows XP®, Windows 7® and Windows Vista® operat-
ing systems.
For operation with WindowsXP: if you
installed the Siemens Primary Setup Tool, the
DLC (data link control) protocol was also in-
stalled. To access the web server, you must de-
activate the DLC protocol on the USB interface
(LAN connection with WI-UR20-FBC).
