Security for Compact Vision CV2 Ethernet Connection

Similar to our robot system, a Compact Vision CV2 unit 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 CV2 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.

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

For instructions on CV2 connection password configuration, refer to the following manual.
