Internet Connection Diagnostics Following method is Comap PC SW independent way how to check connection from PC via Internet to some controller. The basic diagnostic of iG-IB to internet connection could be done using telnet software: 1) Start telnet software 2) In telnet window write command „open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx“...
If the network software is configured as shown in picture, users from Internet will be able to connect from Comap PC SW to address 195.122.194.89 and communicate with IG-IB behind firewall. So in fact, we enter to PC SW different address than is configured in IG-IB, as is correctly noted in the manual.
The module is based on I-CB/CAT GAS HW. This HW needs to be bought and then it’s standard FW replaced with I-CR-R FW obtained from ComAp Download Center. Also, for the replacement of the FW, you will need the FlashProg utility which can be downloaded in Peripheral Modules Upgrade Package here: http://www.comap.cz/support/download-center/type/software/.
