Dial-In Setup for PPP-Server
FP Web-Server V2.11
110
9.1 Dial-up Networking Setup for Computer/ FP
Web-Server
The FP Web-Server can administer a modem that permits logging on a "PPP-Client" and
establishing a TCP/ IP connection to the FP Web-Server via modem.
When the connection has been established, the functions are the same as the ones described
above for Ethernet communication.
Functions possible:
• Http server for Web pages
• RS232C/ Ethernet ports
• Modbus communication
• Remote configuration
In addition, the FP Web-Server provides a "Gateway" function that allows other FP
Web-Servers (that are connected to the "Gateway" FP Web-Server via the Ethernet) to be
accessed via a long-distance modem connection. A description of the gateway setup can be
found under PPP Gateway Functions (see page
119).
In the following paragraph, the installation of a Windows95 computer and modem is described.
Using its standard Windows Dial-up Networking (PPP-Client) functions you can call up a FP
Web-Server.
For a detailed description of the parameters for the PPP-Server in the FP Web-Server, refer to
PPP-Server Configurator Inputs and Parameters (see page
127).
• In a LAN, only one PPP server gateway is allowed.
• The default LAN gateway address is replaced by the PPP gateway address
during a modem connection.
• Set up the PPP client to accept the remote IP address from the PPP server.
• Problems may occur if the server is connected to a client via modem and via
LAN at the same time.
9.1.1 TCP/ IP Network Installation of a Windows Client
To make it possible for a computer (FPWIN Pro, GKWIN, COM2WINSOCK, COMIP, etc.) to
communicate with the FP Web-Server via the network, the TCP/ IP network protocol has to be
installed. These settings are independent of the decision whether the communication is carried
out via the Ethernet or via the dial-up networking modem. For details on the TCP/ IP installation
on a Windows computer, please refer to the online help under TCP/ IP Setup for Configurator/
Browser Operations via LAN.
