Getting to know and arranging the web server | Setting up the Ethernet port 5.7 Setting up the Ethernet port Couplers for ethernet based bus systems are equipped with RJ45 sockets. With this, the web server can alternatively be controlled via Ethernet. If you want to use the web server via Ethernet you have to set up the ethernet connection first. ▶ Connect the PC with the coupler (or a switch within the network) using a LAN cable. ▶ Click on the coupler in the station view and then on Parameter.
Getting to know and arranging the web server | HTTPS 5.8 HTTPS Opening the web server via HTTPS With HTTPS, the web server and client communicate encrypted on the transport layer. This ensures the authenticity of the server as well as the integrity and confidentiality of the data transmitted. The following u-remote couplers support HTTPS: Best.-Nr.
Getting to know and arranging the web server | HTTPS Exchanging the TLS/SSL certificate You can replace the u-remote standard certificate with your own certificate. Optionally, you can have your certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA) and also load the CA certificate to the coupler. Only transmit certificates and private keys via trusted connections. We recommend transmitting certificates and private keys via the USB port of the coupler. The web server supports: – Encryption with TLS 1.
Getting to know and arranging the web server | HTTPS Restart the web server The web server is restarted. After the restart, the user-defined certificate is activated. User-defined certificate successfully activated 16 u-remote web server manual 2112220000/06/01.
6 Coupler settings 6.1 ▶ Open the coupler component view. Displaying and changing parameters ▶ Open the coupler component view. ▶ Click Parameter. The parameters are displayed. For parameters that can be edited, you can enter the changes in the entry fields or choose alternative settings from a drop-down list.
Coupler settings | Saving or restoring module parameters in the coupler 6.2 Saving or restoring module parameters in the coupler You can save the parameters of the connected modules in the coupler or restore them to the default values. 6.3 With a reset, you can undo all the changes that have been made since the last time that the web server was started. After a reset, the coupler is restarted. All data which is not protected against power failure is reset. ▶ Click Module parameters.
Coupler settings | Resetting the coupler to factory settings 6.4 Resetting the coupler to factory settings This function allows you to set up the coupler in its original state as at delivery. This includes the reset of the following data: – All coupler parameters – Login data and password protection – I&M data – Modified module parameters that are safed in the coupler During a reset, the coupler is restarted. ▶ Open the coupler component view. ▶ Click Factory settings and then Yes.
7 Module settings ▶ Open the module component view. Displaying and editing module parameters Module component view Here you can: – Display general information about the module – Access and change the module parameters – Display information about certain channels – Access the data sheet of the module (link Ordering data) The module settings are only accessible when force mode is not active. Parameters can only be written when the field bus is not active. 7.1 ▶ Enter the desired modifications.
Module settings | Displaying register settings 7.2 Displaying register settings For modules with registers (e.g. counter modules and PWM modules), the register settings can be displayed in a tool tip. ▶ Open the module component view. ▶ Move the cursor over the value of the register you want to see.
