    Can the Proveris web interface run on a different PC than the Proveris server?

    Our IT department wants the Proveris server (the part that talks to the PLCs) to stay on a PC in the production network, but the web interface should run on a server in the office network that users can reach more easily. The two networks are connected through a firewall.
    Is this setup possible with the web version? If yes, what do I configure and which ports do I need to ask IT to open? I'd also like to understand what happens to user sessions if the connection between the two goes down.

    Yes, the web interface can connect to a Proveris server on another computer. It's configured on the Server Status page under Server connection.
    On the production PC (Proveris server)
    1. Open the web interface locally on that PC and go to Server Status.
    2. Find Key of the server on this computer and copy it. Keep this key secret; it's what allows a remote web server to connect.
    On the office web server
    1. Open Server Status > Server connection.
    2. Enter Server IP / name of the production PC, and paste the key into Server key.
    3. Click Test connection. A successful test shows "Connected: {machine} · project {project}".
    4. Click Save. Users must sign out and sign in again for the change to take effect.
    Reading the test result
    - "The server could not be reached (check IP, port and firewall)." → network or firewall.
    - "The server was reached but did not answer: wrong/missing key or an old server version." → check the key or update the server.
    Firewall
    IT needs to allow the office web server to reach the Proveris server's port on the production PC. The port is shown on the Server Status page (Port under General). Only this one direction is needed; the PLCs don't have to be reachable from the office network.
    If the link goes down
    Users will see "Connection lost" in the interface. Data collection continues on the production PC, because communication with the PLCs runs there, and the web interface shows current data again once the link is back.
    Note: if the target is set with the OEE_TCP_HOST / OEE_TCP_PORT environment variables, the page setting has no effect.
