11.4 Accessing the Web pages from a mobile device
In this example, a mobile device that is within range of the local wireless access point can
connect to PLC 3 and PLC 4 by their IP addresses. From the Internet outside the local
wireless range, a mobile device can connect to PLC 1 and PLC 2 using the port forwarded
address for each PLC.
To access the standard Web pages, you must have access to a cellular service or wireless
access point. To access a PLC from the Internet, enter the port forwarded address in the
Web browser of your mobile device to access the PLC, for example http://ww.xx.yy.zz:pppp
or https::/ww.xx.yy.zz:pppp, where ww.xx.yy.zz is the address of the router and pppp is the
port assignment for a specific PLC.
For local access through a local wireless access point, enter the IP address of the CPU:
http://ww.xx.yy.zz or https::/ww.xx.yy.zz. You can also navigate to a specific Web page by
name as described in Accessing the Web pages from a PC (Page 606).
Note that if you choose you can configure the PLC in STEP 7 (Page 603) to be accessible
only by secure access (https).
