7.3 Status Page
The status page, accessible via a link on the home page, provides
the user with information without allowing unauthorized recon-
figuration of a NETLink
®
.
The page provides general information:
• firmware version, number of possible connections, etc.), and
specific information (baud rate, active stations, DHCP status,
etc.)
A “Diagnostic Page” is also implemented, which can be useful for
troubleshooting, for example. To make use of this function, “Go
Online” must be activated for the NETLink
®
adapter on the bus
system. This can be done with an engineering tool such as STEP7
or by using the “Go Online” button on the status page. This
function can also be switched on permanently on the “Basic
Configuration” page.
Because all NETLink
®
Gateways are also active as a single master,
it is also possible to search for passive stations only. The search is
started by clicking “Search Passive Stations.” The updated status of
verified stations is then displayed.
7.4 Configuration page
The configuration page, accessible via a link on the home page, is
a configuration interface for the user.
• It can be used to modify device-specific parameters, TCP pa-
rameters, and bus-specific parameters, as well as to change the
unit’s default username and password.
Before this page is opened, the user name and the password must
be entered.
Please remember that the user names/passwords that you have de-
fined for this configuration interface cannot be reset by any “mas-
ter reset”. Please contact our technical support if you are no
longer able to access the safety-relevant pages of the Web inter-
face with the access data known to you.
The bus parameters can also be adapted to the single master func-
tionalities. For further details on the RFC1006 function see sec-
tion 8.
With the ‘Submit’ button, the inputs are checked for plausibility.
You may then be shown which inputs are incorrect and what
correct input would look like at this point.
Before the parameters are actually saved, you will be shown all
the changes you made the way they will be stored in the NET-
Link
®
unit’s non-volatile memory (after you click on the “Store”
button). After clicking on the “Store” button, the NETLink
®
unit
will be automatically restarted so that the configuration you set
up can take effect.
With the Web interface, a NETLink
®
could be started both locally
and remotely. This is done by clicking the ‘Device Reboot’ button.
