4.4 Setup of the Device configuration (u-link Web portal)

Configuration of a ‘User defined end

device’ connected to Router LAN port

(Step 3)

▪ The object type „User defined end device“

can be used to define any device type being

accessible by an Ethernet communication

(TCP/UDP).

▪ This object type will be used to provide a

mapping of remote accessible devices

behind the Router. It is not necessary to

create ‘User defined end devices‘ for

remote access because all IP addresses at

Router LAN port are accessible when

having a pass-through VPN connection to

the Router.

➢ Select Tab ‘New’

➢ Drag from ‘Device selection’ the object

‘User defined end device’ and drop to the

container object ‘Access Router Machine 1’.

➢ Click Tab ‘Device configuration’ and

configure the object specific properties as

you want (Screenshot shows 2 already

configured ‘User-defined end devices‘).

These parameters (text-based fields) are

used only for information. They have no

relevance regarding the remote access

functionality.

▪ Same as for a Router object the features

‘Actions’, ‘Storing documents and

comments’ are provided for this object type.

Screenshot shows 2 configured ‘User defined end

devices’ connected to LAN port of the Router. One is

representing a Profinet PLC, the other one is

representing an u-remote IO device.

Note: This configuration we will use for setup of the

remote access scenario.

Preparing of the device configuration now is finished !

In the next steps both the Service PC (using this administrator account) and the

physical Router (which later is located in the remote network) have to be configured.
