Term
IP_ROUTER_LAN
IP_ ROUTER_WAN
ScreenName
Description
IP Address of the Router on the LAN.
IP Address of the Router on the WAN.
Name of the project screen, saved as HTML, that is open on the Thin Client station.
Example 1: Web Server and Thin Client in the same Intranet (LAN)
This is the very common architecture, as well as the simplest to configure. In this architecture, both the Web
Server (e.g., Microsoft IIS) and the Data Server (i.e., the IWS TCP/IP Server module) are running on the same
PC. The Thin Client connects to the Web Server to download the HTML screen file(s). Then it connects to
the Data Server to exchange data with the IWS runtime project. Since both the Thin Client and the Server
station are connected to the same network, the Thin Client can access the Server station directly through its
IP address (or host name).
Configuration:
Setting WTG Enabled Web Gateway Disabled
Data Server IP Address IP_SERVER_LAN IP_SERVER_LAN
Secondary Data Server IP Address - -
Web Tunneling Gateway IP Address IP_SERVER_LAN -
Web Tunneling Gateway Secondary IP Address - -
Note:
• URL From Thin Client LAN: http://IP_SERVER_LAN/ScreenName.html
• Home directory of the web server (HTTP server) on the server station: Web sub-folder of the project
Example 2: Web Server with Intranet (LAN) and Internet (WAN) Connections
This architecture has both the Web Server (e.g., Microsoft IIS) and the Data Server (i.e., the IWS TCP/IP
Server module) running on the same PC. Thin Clients can connect to the Server through either an Intranet
(LAN) connection to the Server or an Internet (WAN) connection to the Server (e.g., two different Ethernet
ports).
