Ok, I'm not the engineer. I'm the IT guy. I'm trying make it so an outside vendor can communicate with the PLC inside our network for upgrades and maintenance.
I've opened up TCP/UDP ports 2222 and 44818. Turned port forwarding on at the router for those ports. We are testing it by trying to get connected to the PLC from outside our network but we're unsuccessful. It's nothing fancy just a liksys setup. It isn't a permanent setup, it's merely "hey computer guy, hook up the plc to the dsl" and that's it, it doesn't stay hooked up to the net. I can get connected to other applications through our router, just not the plc.
Can someone else point me in the right direction to enable/disable etc, or what to look at? I've read Rockwell's docs and according to them, I got the right information for our hardware, just, no connection.
Thanks again.
