Setting up for Remote Configuration and Control
The SI7 I/O Server (driver) configures the necessary remote settings when it is
installed. However, before you can access the server remotely, your network
administrator must set up security for remote access. Refer to Setting up Security to
use the I/O Server Remotely for more information.
Once security is configured, you can select a remote server using the I/O Driver
Power Tool. Refer to Setting Up the SI7 I/O Server Connection to learn more.
If you cannot connect remotely, refer to the topic, I cannot connect to a remote server.
