12.5 Using a CP module to access Web pages
For local access through a local wireless access point, enter the IP address of the S7-1200
CPU or a Web server-enabled CP (Page 1010) in the local rack:
● http://ww.xx.yy.zz or https::/ww.xx.yy.zz to access the standard Web pages (Page 1011)
● http://ww.xx.yy.zz/basic or https::/ww.xx.yy.zz/basic to access the basic Web pages
(Page 1012)
For increased security, configure the Web server to be accessible only by secure access
(HTTPS) (Page 1003).

Using a CP module to access Web pages
Regardless of whether you access the Web server from a PC or a mobile device, you can
connect to standard Web pages through one of the following CP modules when you have
configured it in STEP 7 and installed it in the local rack with the S7-1200 CPU:
● CP 1242-7 GPRS V2
● CP 1243-1
● CP 1243-1 PCC
● CP 1243-7 LTE-EU
● CP 1243-7 LTE-US
● CP 1243-8 IRC
You use the Start standard Web page (Page 1018) to access the Web pages through these
CP modules. The Start page displays all configured and installed CP modules that you have
in your local rack, but you can only access Web pages from the ones listed above.
Note
Access to standard Web pages when Web server-enabled CPs are in the local rack
You might observe delays up to one or two minutes when connecting to the S7-1200
standard Web pages when Web server-enabled CPs are in the local rack. If the pages do
not appear to be available, or you get errors, just wait one or two minutes and refresh the
page.
