Remote access via the IXON cloud
Hello
It is explained here how it is simply possible to create a remote access to the AXC F 2152.
To summup when the AXC F 2152 is connected to the web, and so, to the IXON cloud, it getq a privateIP adress in the IXON cloud domain, for example 10.3.x.y.
So, when the IXON VPN client is activted and running on a PC, this PC, also connected to the IXON cloud, can access via this IP adresse 10.3.x.y to the AXC F 2152 (SFTP, SSH, HTTPS, etc...)
But the problem is with PlcNext.
In Plcnext, the IP adress wich is defined here is the real IP adress of the AXC F 2152. (for example, 192.168.1.10)
normally, this adress is used to conneced to the device in the LOCAL case.
But there, if we want to use the virtual IP adress given by IXON cloud (10.3.x.y), it would be necessary to modify it in the PlcNext application.
But then, if the application is downloaded to the PLC, the PLC will use this virtual IP adress, and so, it will not be possible for it to access to the web, and the rempote access will be lost.
So, is there any option that I don't know to use a virtual IP adress and define it in PlcNext engineer so that a remote access via a virtual IP can be possible, and that the real IP adress of the PLC is not modified after a download?

FINALLY I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS VERY SIMPLE.
IT IS JUST NECESSARY TO DEFINE THÉ RÉAL IP ADRESS OF THÉ 2152 IN THÉ IXON CONFIGURATION AND WHENBTHE VPN TUNNEL IS ACTIVATED IT TAKES THIS ADRESS IF IT IS USED BY ANY SOFTWARE, PLCNEXT TOO
