Web Based Management (WBM) with the IE/AS-i LINK
5.1.1
WBM − Requirements and Starting Up
Principle
With WBM, the IE/AS-i LINK provides you with various functions that you can use
in conjunction with an Internet Browser (for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Version 6.0 or higher).
You work with a Java script that is stored on the IE/AS-i LINK and loaded by the
browser.
To access the IE/AS-i LINK, you enter the IP address of the device in the address
box of the browser.
Requirements for using Web Based Management
An IP address with a suitable subnet mask must be set on the IE/AS-i LINK (for
example, using keypad and display). Remember that there is a setting in
STEP 7/HW Config in the Properties dialog of the IE/AS-i LINK with which the IP
address can be assigned by the PROFINET IO controller. In this case, the IP
address of the device is overwritten when the PROFINET IO controller starts up.
To be able to access the IE/AS-i LINK using WBM, you require a PC with an
Internet Browser. We recommend that you use the Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Version 6.0 or higher. As an alternative, other browsers can also be used.
The browser must be capable of JavaScript. The script can only execute if
JavaScript is enabled in the browser.
The PC must be connected to the LAN to which the IE/AS-i LINK is attached and
the Internet browser must be started.
Note
With some language settings in Windows, the page refresh with the Internet
Explorer does not work correctly in some situations. In this case, the browser must
be set so that the newer version of the page is loaded from the server each time it
is accessed. In the Internet Explorer, you can activate this option in the “Tools” >
“Internet Options” menu > “General” tab by clicking the “Settings” button in the
“Temporary Internet Files” group box.
