Starting the Beckhoff Device Manager

Using the Beckhoff Device Manager, an industrial PC can be configured by remote access with the aid of a web browser. Depending on the image version, access takes place via different protocols and requires different open ports. For older image versions access takes place via the HTTP protocol and Port 80 (TCP). More up-to-date image versions use HTTPS and Port 443 (TCP).

Requirements:

Host PC and embedded PC must be located in the same network. Depending on the operating system version, the network firewall must allow access via port 80 (HTTP) or port 443 (HTTPS).
IP address or host name of the embedded PC.
