Security for Controller Ethernet Connection

Our robot system is provided on the assumption that customers use it in a closed local area network. We considered the use of a public IP address for the Controller that can be accessed via the Internet (directly or through a router) and changed the specification to support password authentication in order to secure the connection.

Password authentication is not performed in case of USB connections.

Be sure to use an IP address in the following private IP address ranges unless a public (global) IP address is required.

Private IP Address Ranges

• 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254
• 172.16.0.1 to 172.31.255.254
• 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254
