Only the “Interfaces” menu is relevant for the initial confi guration.
Navigation: Administration > Projects > Project (selected project) > New Device (selected
device)
Click on the editing symbol
in order to process the settings of the relevant sub-
menu.
The following menus are signifi cant for the initial confi guration:
-
LAN
All REX 100 routers come with a LAN-side IP address of
192.168.0.100/24 as a default. Modify the IP address and the subnet
mask in keeping with the specifi cations from the machinery network.
Note:
It can happen that this IP address must be used as a standard gateway for ad-
ditional TCP/IP components that are connected to the REX 100 for remote maintenance
purposes (see page 20, chapter 8).
-
Internet
For the initial confi guration it is advisable to choose the action “Always”
for the selection fi eld “Connect to server on”. Only with this setting
does the REX 100 automatically attempt to establish a connection with
the myREX24 V2 portal as soon as it is supplied with voltage.
When using static IP addresses, the customer specifi cations for the
subsequent router location must be used for the gateway, DNS server,
and VPN port.
Prior to defi ning the pre-selectable VPN port, clarify with the network
administrator of the customer whether this is also open on the system
side at the customer location (see also page 18, chapter 7).
-
WAN
Enter the data for the WAN connection here, DHCP or static IP. The
corresponding data provides you with the responsible network admin-
istrator.
-
WLAN
(only 700-875-WIF01) Enter the WLAN-specifi c access data for an access
point. The corresponding data provides you with the responsible
network administrator.
Note:
If you enable DHCP, make sure that the DHCP server does not assign the WAN
port an IP address that is already in use on the LAN side. IP addresses from two different
subnets must be assigned to every router's LAN and WAN ports.
Save the settings. The initial confi guration is herewith complete.
