Remote access via portal
Siemens offers with the Synco IC Internet portal simple and secure access to web
serves (available as of Web Server version 5.2).
It permits remote servicing of the plant at any time and from any location.
The user logs on via an html5 compatible web browser (e.g. IE10+, FF18+) on the
portal and has access there to all portal settings and plant data for the user level
and plant role.
This section describes how to set up access to the Web Server via Synco IC
Internet portal.
·
Simple and fast set up of access via the Internet – neither a fixed IP address,
nor forwarding of a dynamic IP address, nor port forwarding (NAT/PAT) is
required
·
The portal provides additional functions:
- Manage one or multiple plants
- Central user management
- Display of plant overview, state of Energy indicators, and alarms
- Plant functional scope can be set for various plant roles
- Logging fault messages as common faults
- Send alarm notifications per e-mail
- Secured communications through encryption (https)
The Web Server does not permit settings on any existing proxy servers and cannot
forward any of these settings. Web Servers on corporate networks with proxy
servers cannot connect to the portal.
In this section describes only portal functions required to set up access and for
understanding interactions.
A detailed description of the portal functions is available on the portal’s help
number. The documentation button opens the documentation menu.
3.1 Set up access via portal
Setting up the portal connection is easier and faster than setting up a direct
connection using a fixed or dynamic IP address.
The Web Server send its device ID and activation key automatically via a secured
connection to the portal as soon as it is connected to the Internet.
The user must register on the portal, log in, and activate the plant to access the
plant.
Plant data is only exchanged between the Web Server and the portal if the user
requests the data.
The sole exception is periodic log in by the Web Server on the portal. This
exchange is required to ensure the user can access the plant at any time.
Only users with the appropriate access rights have access to the data (see Section
3.1.1, "Portal and plant roles".)
For a customer (typically OEM customers), another domain name can be used to
set up a different portal appearance.
