Configuration using the WBM
The communication modules are equipped with a Web server that provides Web Based
Management (WBM) to the Web client for configuring the communication modules. The
WBM can be called via the Web browser of a PC/laptop.
The WBM server provides the Web client (PC/laptop) with the parameter data of the
communication module and accepts parameter changes from the Web client. Note that
changed parameter values are not automatically transferred to the communication module.
You must always manually transfer changes to the configuration to the communication
module.
In the following, the term "WBM" is used to represent the WBM interface displayed in the
Web browser.
