Accessing the Advanced CP via a Web browser

How to access the Advanced CP via a Web browser
The basis of communication via an intranet or the Internet is the Internet TCP/IP protocol
that is implemented on the Advanced CP. In principle, the following few steps are all that is
necessary to make your plant accessible via your intranet or the Internet:
● For intranet and Internet communication
● In addition, for Internet communication
For information on opening ports, see section Security when accessing process data
(Page 162).
Web browser - requirements profile
To access the HTML pages on the Advanced CP as a Web server, you require a Web
browser on your PG/PC/smart phone/tablet PC, for example Internet Explorer. The Web
browser must meet the following requirements:
● JDK (Java Development Kit) 1.1.X is supported.
The Internet Explorer meets these requirements. Other Web browsers with the same range
of functions can also be used. You will find the supported Web browsers in the device
manual of your CP,see /1/ (Page 227).
Note
JDK 1.2.x, 1.3.x and 1.4.x are also supported. To use applets created specially for these
JDK versions with the Microsoft Internet Explorer, you do, however require a plug-in.
Other Web browsers may only meet these requirements with certain restrictions. With these
Web browsers, you also require a plugin component corresponding to the Java reference
implementation of a SUN Java Virtual Machine.
Special settings need to be made in the Web browser when the S7 beans are used. Refer to
the documentation of the S7 beans /22/ (Page 234) for more information on the requirements
listed above.
