Section 9:
With the web server, the RSTi-EP station is displayed on a connected PC. This allows you to
carry out the following tasks prior to the complete commissioning of a system:
• Simulate the operation of the RSTi-EP station
• Query the status of each network adapter and module
• Display the parameters of network adapters and modules, and change them for testing
purposes
• Access diagnostic information
• Operate the station in Force mode for testing purposes
With default settings each network adapter type offers web server access only via USB port.
For that multiple IP addresses can be parametrized. Please note that this is a virtual DHCP
server. To avoid network disruption no other network device with the same subnet ID should
be connected to the PC.
Using network adapters for Ethernet-based fieldbus systems – recognizable by the RJ45
socket – web server access can be realized alternatively via Ethernet. This function must be
enabled in the web server in the network adapters parameter setup. Any changes of the IP
settings on either USB port or Ethernet port will not be effective until restarting the network
adapter.
WARNING
• Explosion Risk - Prior to starting work, make sure that there is not a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
• In Force mode, the system may be manipulated to such an extent that can result in life-
threatening personal injury and damage to materials.
• Only use Force mode if you are very familiar with the connected system and know at all
times the consequences that your actions will have.
CAUTION
Prior to connecting a PC, make sure that the RSTi-EP station has been grounded properly
