H2-ECOM100 thru IT Network Remote access help

As Ethernet becomes more popular, one (or both) of the following is going to have to occur:

1. IT Network guys are going to have to become PLC savvy and understand all of the various Modules/Hardware (ECOMs, EBCs, c-More), tools (NetEdit3) and programs (DirectSOFT, KepDirect, c-More configuration s/w) that utilize these connections, their basic transport protocols (e.g. why a point-to-point connection via DirectSOFT works but a broadcast from the configuration software, NetEdit3, does not work).

2. PLC people are going to have to become more IT/Network savvy.  Routers, Subnet Masks, Hubs, Gateways, Packet Sniffers, etc. are going to become tools in the PLC guy's toolbox.


Hello, I have searched around but not found the simplicity (I believe) of what I need.  The above quote is exactly what I need to step by step instruct the IT guy.  I have setup a DL205, 250-1 CPU, with the H2-ECOM100.  I have set an IP Address per availability by IT guy.  On-site, on customer's local wireless I can connect thru via A/D Software (had setup ECOM using NetEdit) and all works well.  From here, I don't know what to tell IT guy so I can access remotely anywhere else other than local. Thanks.

Heavens to Mergatroyd, are you needing remote access via the Internet, even?

Look at this ECOM100 FAQ with your IT guy:
http://www.hosteng.com/FAQFiles/ECOM.htm#FAQ0016

Your IT guy will probably appreciate the VPN solutions best, possibly the Gateway solution.

I believe the Gateway solution is what I am looking for.  This particular customer's IT guy is not very venturous in helping.  And this is the first time I have tried for remote access.  I'll give it a go.  Thanks again.
