Test network
Before launching a project that involves the use of any network protocol, it is crucial to ensure that the network being used is functioning correctly. We recommend starting with a simple test where the Beckhoff device has a direct connection to the device it should communicate with. With no Firewalls or similar active.
- 1. First, verify the hardware components by checking cable connections and ensuring that routers or switches are powered on and functional.
- 2. Next, inspect the network settings such as IP addresses, subnet masks, and firewall settings on both the Beckhoff device and the device it is intended to communicate with.
- After that basic test works, you can configure the firewall as described here:
