14.1.4 FP Web-Server PPP gateway functions
The PPP server can be called up via modem by a PPP client, e.g. laptop
with dial-up networking functions (see "Modem and dial-up networking
installation of a Windows client" on p. 131). As soon as the connection is
established, you cannot only access the PLC and the FP Web-Server
functions of the PPP server with this distant PPP client, but also contact all
the other FP Web-Servers in the network via Ethernet!
The Ethernet (LAN) network and the dial-up networking connection have to
be regarded as two separate networks, each with its own network address!
For notes on IP addressing and distinguishing the network's and the unit's
address, refer to IP and TCP/IP (see p. 179).
Within the LAN there is only one PPP server gateway allowed, i.e. if several
FP Web-Servers are connected in a network via the Ethernet, only one of
the FP Web-Servers in this network can assume the function of a PPP
server.
When the IP configuration of the FP Web-Server is carried out, you can
specify a default LAN gateway. As soon as a modem connection with the
PPP server is established, this gateway address is replaced by the PPP
configuration.
