Remote diagnosis "RCS Host Embedded / RCS Viewer Embedded"

It is possible for a service engineer to monitor and influence a control from a remote PC
(remote PC = viewer), i.e. the same display of HMI-Embedded is shown on the remote PC
as on the screen of the operator panel front.
Remote diagnosis has the following services:
● Direct access to the HMI-Embedded via network
● Data exchange (file transfer)
You can order the remote diagnosis software "RCS Viewer Embedded V1.1" for PC
(Windows), available on CD "RCS Viewer Embedded", with
Order No.: 6FC6000-6DC81-1BA0.
Prerequisite
In order to use the remote diagnosis software "RCS Host" on the NCU you require the
license release (authorization to use the software) available under
Order No. 6FC5800-0AP30-0YB0.
See Licensing (Page 13)
The following hardware and software is required:
● Establish a tunnel connection between NCU 7x0 (Ethernet interface X130) (machine) and
● Windows PC (XP/ NT4/ 95/ 98) with network connection
● "Viewer" application (mmcR.exe) from the remote diagnosis CD (remote PC)
● Ethernet cable
● Logic drive for data exchange (file transfer)
Connecting
The example shows the connection via the ISDN network (64 kbit/s). This telephone network
provides the capability of connecting to remote LANs via a tunnel using the point-to-point
protocol (PPP). The NCU 7x0 is connected to the ISDN network via the Ethernet interface
with a hardware router (with VPN functionality).
