Addressing of single and redundant communications partners 
Addressing the telecontrol server 
● 
Addressing of a single telecontrol server
 
Configure the IP address of the telecontrol server or the DSL router when connecting via 
the Internet. 
When using a DynDNS service with the host name (FQDN) can be specified. 
● 
Addressing of the TCSB redundancy group by the stations using one IP address
 
In the LAN in the master station to which the TCSB server PCs and the DSL router (e.g. 
SCALANCE M) are connected, the Network Load Balancing (NLB) of the computer 
operating system will assign a common virtual IP address to the two server PCs. 
This IP address is configured depending on the network setup: 
–  If a CP without a DSL router is connected, the virtual address assigned by the NLB 
must be configured in the CP as the IP address of the telecontrol server. 
–  If a DSL router is used, only one IP address will be configured to address the 
redundant telecontrol server in the stations, the public address of the DSL router. 
Set the port forwarding (TCP) on the DSL router so that the public IP address 
(external network) is led to the virtual IP address of the TCSB server PCs (internal 
network). Only the public IP address is reachable from the Internet. The station does 
not therefore receive any information telling it which of the two computers of the 
redundancy group it is connected to. 
Addressing redundant DNP3 or IEC masters 
For each master specify the master station address and the IP address being used. 
 
Partner for inter-station communication 
Only when using the "TeleControl Basic" protocol 
Inter-station communication 
In this table, you specify the S7 stations and CPs with which the current station will use inter-
station communication. Connections for inter-station communication run via the telecontrol 
server. 
The partner number is assigned by the system. It is required during data point configuration 
to assign data points to their communications partners. 
For inter-station communication, the partner is addressed with the parameters "Project", 
"Station" and "Slot".
