The ability to access DTMs in a different subnet via the DTM browser

[Trinxs1]

Some sites use a central engineering work station (EWS) that resides in a subnet different to the PAC and distributed devices.  In EcoStruxure Control Expert (ECE) it is not possible to connect to DIO DTMs which reside in a different subnet to that of the host EWS, even though the EWS can access these via routers.

Please modify the ECE DTM browser to allow connection to DTMs in any subnet, provide a warning that it is the responsibility of the user to ensure connectivity via routers.  An option may be to have a setting that can be activated to allow this to happen.

I wholeheartedly agree.  Especially on the NOC0321 module that supports multiple subnets.  It may not be devices on the control network subnet to which the IO scanner needs to connect.  This would make the design task simpler when managing different subnets.
