Abstract:
How can remote PC visit SCADA Node that with Private IP Address.
Note: better one
Description:
When users create Project Node and SCADA Node, they usually require entering both
Project Node and SCADA Node IP Addresses. Based on different network structure,
they have to enter Public IP Address or Private IP Address. In this example, we will
talk about entering Private IP Address in Project Node and Public IP Address in
SCADA Node.
Solution:
1. The following image is the SCADA structure. The Project Node and SCADA
Node are installed in the same computer. Also, this computer has private IP
address (192.168.0.11)

2.

3.

First, we have to understand how WebAccess works in network.

i.
Remote PC sends SCADA Node monitoring requirement to Project Node
ii.
Project Node returns SCADA Node IP Address to Remote PC
iii.
Remote PC automatically connects to SCADA Node.
In this case, Project Node has to enter Private Public IP Address and SCADA
Node has to enter Public IP Address

6.

If user has to monitor SCADA Node from PC1, he/she just simply enter Public
IP Address (140.136.247.11) in IE Browser.
If user has to monitor SCADA Node from Remote PC, the engineer has to do
some setups ahead.
Find a file named Bwclient.ini under c:\WebAccess\Node in Project Node &
SCADA Node computer.

Next, user has to Use Notepad.exe to open it, and then adding the following
lines.
[mapping]
140.136.247.11:0=192.168.0.11:0
140.136.247.11:80=192.168.0.11:80
140.136.247.11:4592=192.168.0.11:4592
140.136.247.11:14592=192.168.0.11:14592

Setup NAT (Network Address Translation) in Router

i.
Mapping 140.136.247.11 port 80 to 192.168.0.11 port 80
ii.
Mapping 140.136.247.11 port 4592 to 192.168.0.11 port 4592
iii.
Mapping 140.136.247.11 port 14592 to 192.168.0.11 port 14592

8.

For Remote PC, user simply enters Public IP Address (140.136.247.11) in IE

Browser.

9.

Result: User runs WebAccess Client software and enters IP Address

(140.136.247.11) and he / she will be able to monitor the SCADA Node
remotely.

10. This is how whole processes work:

i.
Remote PC runs WebAccess Client and enter Public IP Address
(140.136.247.11)
ii.
Router translates the IP Address and points to Project Nod PC
(192.168.0.11)
iii.
Project Node receives the IP Address (140.136.247.11). Based on
c:\WebAccess\Node\bwclient.ini, Project Node recognizes this monitor
request.
iv.
Project Node returns SCADA Node IP Address (140.136.247.11)
v.
Remote PC receives SACDA Node IP Address (140.136.247.11)
vi.
Remote PC now is able to connect and monitor the SCADA Node.
