IMPORTANT NOTE: If the device is configured for network communication (connected to the
corporate network or the field network), a valid IP configuration for the field network must replace
the factory IP configuration default. Local access to devices on a network is still supported after
the default configuration is replaced, but the operator laptop must have an IP configuration
compatible with the non-default addresses assigned to the devices. See section 4.5 Configure
Ethernet network communication .

4.2.2.2 Configure the host system
If the laptop is configured to automatically obtain the IP address, do not change the TCP/IP
configuration. If the laptop has a static TCP/IP configuration, configure it for dynamic IP addressing
and private addressing ( Figure 4-7 ). See Figure 4-8 for Windows ® 7 system examples.
