Exigo with web interface
See chapter 9 for explanations of terms used in this chapter.
10.1 Connection
The controller must be connected to a static, white IP address.
If the Exigo is to be located behind a router with a built-in firewall, the router must be configured.
The router should have a fixed white IP address. It must then find the controller, either by sending an
IP address to the controller or by entering the controller’s MAC address. Thereafter, all incoming
traffic on Ports 80 and 26486 should be NAT routed to the black IP address of the controller. See the
router manual for this.
Ports 80 and 26486 on the internet modem must also be open for incoming traffic.
This is built into the Exigo and is based on the fact that it has an integrated web interface. Using NAT-
routing, you can also connect more than one web server behind the same white IP address.
A Exigo can handle a maximum of 5 connections from Exigo Tool, EXOscada and web browser at a
time.
10.2 Two or more Exigo behind the same router
Two or more Exigo with integrated web server can be connected behind the same router, if the
communication routes are defined to the router. As mentioned previously, this is known as
Port
Forwarding
or
NAT routing
. Using this method, the router will know to which black IP address (LAN)
it should connect communication via the different WAN ports.
For
the second Exigo, the communication port must be set to EXOline. This setting is made in
Configuration/System/Website
. For example, you can set the port to 26000 instead of 26486.
Then go to
Tools/Load website to the controller
to load the unit with the new setting. If using a
third Exigo, it can for example be set to communicate EXOline on port 26001.
