5.5.7 The "Connections" submenu
Introduction
Users can connect from the Thin Client to different servers. Example:
• RDP Server 1: Access to office planning documents
• VNC Server 2: Access to Office spreadsheets
• Sm@rtServer 3: Access to WinCC messages at the plant
• WinCC OA-Server 4: Access to WinCC OA workstations
• Web-Server 5: Access to web-based content, for example, of an S7 controller (PROFINET)
or Intranet/Internet using the integrated web browser.
Web connection and web browser
You can configure a Web connection, for example, the server address, via the connection
settings, see section "
Connection settings (Page 97)". You configure the Web browser
itself and its proxy settings in the application settings, see section "
The "Programs"
(Page 107)".
You can establish up to 5 such client-server connections at the same time. These connections
are specified mainly by the following parameters:
• Connection type, e.g., "Sm@rtServer" or "RDP"
• IP address of the server
• Port of the server
The Industrial Thin Client then displays the server screen as a full screen.
This section shows how you configure client-server connections. The connection settings can
be found in the configuration settings in the Start menu "Configuration > Connections".
Displaying client-server connections in the taskbar
The "Display connection (favorites)" option is enabled by default so that the client-server
connection appears in the start bar (under "Favorites") and can be started from there. The
favorites contain a maximum of 10 client-server connections.
It makes sense to disable the "Show connection (Favorites)" option, for example, when the
associated server must be serviced at regular intervals.
Factory default settings
• "Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP)"
To prevent unauthorized persons from logging on and gaining free access to the
configuration settings and client
-server connections, you should immediately assign a new
administrator password after first commissioning or restoring of factory settings.
