Connect to your Beckhoff

Once you've registered your IXrouter to the IXON Cloud and connected your Beckhoff to one of the LAN ports, you're ready to remotely access it.

1. "Source NAT" needs to be disabled. It's on by default in the IXrouter's settings, but needs to be disabled for you to connect to your Beckhoff.
   • Check your Beckhoff's network settings first and make sure that the IXrouter's LAN IP address is entered as the Beckhoff's default gateway.
   • Once that is done, turn off "Source NAT" in the IXrouter settings at Fleet Manager > Devices > Your device > Network > LAN.
2. Set up a VPN connection to your IXrouter.

You can now use TwinCAT to connect to your Beckhoff.
