Control (HMI@Web – Connection to PC and LAN/WAN)
Connection of the VCS control unit
with the HMI@Web controller to the LAN
Warning
If the default IP address of the HMI@Web unit cannot be used
in the LAN network – i.e. a different address range is used in the
LAN network (e.g. 10.0.0..., 192.168.10.....), or the existing
PC within the LAN network has already been assigned the IP
address ...199 (can be verified by the "ping + IP address" com-
mand) which must be retained - it is necessary to change the
HMI@Web IP address setting from the computer (as described
above) before connecting it to the network.
If you are not an administrator of the LAN network, you will
have to contact your LAN administrator. The same applies if
you are not an administrator of your computer.
Using the Ethernet cable (not included in the HMI@Web
delivery) connect the HMI@Web unit to the LAN network
connecting point in the same way as any other LAN device.
The same conditions as in step 1 (connecting points, cable
lengths) apply for connection to LAN.
To set the addresses, it is possible to use other controllers like
HMI SG, TM and DM. Maximum HMI@Web unit distance from
an active network element must comply with the Ethernet
network conditions.
Notice: The HMI@Web unit can also be connected to the
LAN network via the wi-fi access point in the client mode,
etc. – consult your network administrator.

To be able to operate the HMI@Web unit, a unique IP address
within the network range (see fig. # 8) must be assigned to
the HMI@Web unit. Go to "Connection" >> "LAN connection"
(refer to Step 4: Activation).
Always restart the HMI@Web unit after assigning a new IP
address – the new setting is applied after restart.
Attention! Always consult your network administrator if con-
necting the HMI@Web to LAN.
2. Step: Computer Configuration - TCP/IP Settings
Warning
In this step, settings of the PC using Microsoft Windows®
XP are described; if you use other operating systems you will
have to perform corresponding settings of your computer in
accordance with your operating system user manual, or ask
an expert for help. This setting procedure is needed only for a
permanent direct connection to PC, or to change the HMI@
Web settings before its integration into the LAN network.

After setting the HMI@Web unit (following the below de-
scribed procedure), and when the HMI@Web default address
complies with network addressing, it is only necessary to en-
able new hardware in the infrastructure administration – there
is no need to make any other adjustments to individual PCs.
Adjust PC network card settings in Windows:
Go to "Start" >> "Settings" >> "Control Panel" >> "Network
connection"). Click (right mouse button) on "Local network
connection", then on "Properties", and display "Internet pro-
tocol (TCP/IP)" properties".
Figure 31 – TCP/IP settings
If the protocol is not found in the list of items (it is not installed),
add the item to the system. Click the "Install" button, select
the "Internet protocol (TCP/IP)", and follow the instructions
on the screen.
Select item "Use the following IP address". Type "192.168.1.3"**
into the "IP address" box and "255.255.255.0" into the "Net-
work mask" box.
Do not type anything into the item boxes of the second part
of the window (leave them blank).
If you are prompted by the system to restart, confirm the
restart immediately.
Connection, resp. TCP/IP Protocol Verification
To verify the settings and connection, type the HMI@Web
address into the URL box of the internet browser (the HMI@
Web system must be switched on); it should start functioning
in 0.5 – 3 minutes - the time needed to initialize the webserver.
Figure 32 – IP address entry
After sending the request, and if the settings and connecting
are correct, the HMI@Web unit is ready to be configured, and
the login window is displayed on the screen requesting the
user name and password.
** Any number from 1 to 254 except 199 (which is assigned to the
HMI@Web controller) can be used in the first place of the IP address.
