Please help check the following settings is correct or not for network trouble shooting.
When an activated HMI does not currently belong to any domain, once it goes online, it will obtain a set of Session ID/Password, which can be used to add the HMI to a domain.
Session ID/Password are generated uniquely for the HMI by the EasyAccess 2.0 service, the HMI must go online in order to receive this piece of information.
Demo Project showing Session ID/Password
Note: Using EasyWatch, it is also possible to find out the Session ID/Password without actually downloading a project. EasyWatch allows users to monitor the HMI or the PLC address values via Ethernet from the PC. For its usage, check out related sections in the EasyBuilder Pro User Manual.
Under the [Directory] or [Device] tab, click [Add HMI], select [Add by session id/password] and then enter the Session ID and Password.
