Select the network model to be applied to this Plant SCADA computer. The options include:
-
Stand alone (no other SCADA computers)
-
Networked (connect to other SCADA computers)
Note: TCP/IP address information for servers is configured within the Plant SCADA project itself. See Add a Network Address for more information.
Stand alone
Select stand alone to run all server and client components of a Plant SCADA system on a single computer. This allows you to run Plant SCADA as a small and self-contained system.
Networked
Select Networked to connect to a system of multiple Plant SCADA computers configured with different server and client components. In a Networked setup where hostnames are used to resolve IP addresses, specify the following:
-
Select network address type from the Address Type drop-down list (refer to [LAN]AddressType).
-
For an IPv6 Address Type, select the Address Scope from the drop-down list (refer to [LAN]AddressScope).
Refer to the following table for information regarding the status of a server with respect to the computer network configuration, the Address Type and the Address Scope selection.
