Configuring use of user-defined Web pages
To configure user-defined Web pages from STEP 7, follow these steps:
1. Select the CPU in the Device Configuration view.
2. Display the "Web server" properties in the inspector window for the CPU.
3. If not already selected, select the check box for "Activate Web server on this module".
4. Select the check box for "Permit access only with HTTPS" to ensure that the Web server
uses encrypted communication and to increase the security of your Web-accessible CPU.
5. Enter or browse to the folder name on your PC where you saved the HTML default page
(start page).
6. Enter the name of the default page.
7. Provide a name for your application (optional). The Web server uses the application
name to further subcategorize or group web pages. When an application name exists, the
URL will appear in the following format: http://ww.xx.yy.zz/awp/<application
name>/<pagename>.html.
Avoid special characters in the application name. Some characters can cause the Web
server to be unable to display the user-defined pages.
8. Specify filename extensions to be examined for the presence of AWP commands. By
default, STEP 7 analyzes files with .htm, .html, or .js extensions. If you have additional file
extensions, append them.
