How-to view Remote Devices on M2WEB
Through M2Web, you can access remotely devices (e.g.: HMIs, computers, IP camera) that are
plugged in the LAN of an Ewon. We use eCatcher to configure those devices.
As M2Web is a web-based solution, this options is only possible for devices using one of the following compatible protocols:

Select <the protocol> that M2Web must use:
HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol
M2Web can use the HTTP if the LAN device features a web server and hosts web pages (e.g.: IP camera).
HTTPS - Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure
M2Web can use the HTTPS protocol if the LAN device features a secured web server & hosts web pages
VNC - Virtual Network Computing
Open source client/server desktop sharing system which uses the Remote Frame Buffer (RFB) protocol.
M2Web can use the VNC protocol if the LAN device features a VNC server (e.g.: HMI,PC).
RDP - Remote Desktop Protocol
Microsoft® client/server desktop sharing protocol. M2Web can use the RDP protocol
if the LAN device is RDP server. (Ex : PC running Microsoft® Windows XP,7,..)
We recommend the previous method to set the protocol associated to your LAN devices as it also allows you to define a specific port (i.e.: on port:).
Alternatively, a second method consists in using the port filtering dropdown near the <Specific Protocol> field.

M2Web uses then the default port of the selected protocol which resumes to:
