The comfort of this solution is limited by the quality of the transferred screen and the time lags when working with the mouse, the space mouse and other Human Interface Devices (HID). Remotely accessing the Desktop through VPN:Īnother option is to remotely access the primary machine through a Remote Desktop (RDP) via VPN, or directly (without VPN) through TeamViewer's unattended access. There are no known issues with this setup apart from a potentially slightly decreased performance caused by frequent status checks from the client machine to the Vault server and an increased time for opening the files because of the copy/ download process depending on the performance of the VPN. This setup is common for single users who are intermittently working from home. Opening/ getting/ checking out files with the Vault Add-Ins or the Vault Client through a VPN connection is possible because the files are copied to a local working folder before they open locally by Inventor. Opening files from the Vault through VPN: Doing so may result in poor performance and in file corruption. It is not recommended to directly open files from Inventor on a remote network drive through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Solution: Directly opening files in Inventor through VPN:


132 was your remote PC's 2nd NIC address. ' but your example says 'route add 192.168.1.132 mask.' Where you describe how to use the 'route add.' command you indicate the command line is 'route add. I think my main issue was that I neglected the step to set the gateway in the PLC & HMI so they are currently blank. I am working on using a cell phone 3G or 4G hotspot to connect the laptop VPN to the programmers PC. My application is a little different but I think it will work the same. I'll get back on the project in a day or two. I had a little trouble but I ran out of time today to keep at it. I was working on setting up a network using your guide.

You just have to have the intermediary PCs IP address set as the "router" (or "gateway") in the AB CPU. The guide describes how to Teamviewer VPN with Siemens STEP7, but the principle is the same.
