A customer has multiple AB Micrologix 1400's on an ethernet network behind a router. I need to access each of them remotely via the internet via RSLinx Lite and RSLogix 500 for programming.
I looked at an AB tech note which says to use "Remote Devices Via RSLinx Gateway" driver in RSLinx, but I don't exactly get it. So in this driver, I only need to enter the public IP of the router?
What needs to be setup in the router (it's the customer's router, so I don't know what it is)? I'm not sure exactly what the RSLinx Gateway driver does, does it just send a broadcast to port 44818 at the public IP address? So in the router, port 44818 needs to be rebroadcast out to the local subnet?
