3.3 Switch on
3.3.5 Commissioning the Ethernet network
If you only want to communicate with one single easyE4, use an Ethernet cable to con-
nect the easyE4 Ethernet port to your computer – please refer to → "Connecting the Eth-
ernet cable", page 65
easySoft 7 communications make it possible to search for connected easyE4 that are
switched on and establish communications with them.
3.3.5.1 Network operation
Install the Ethernet network as required by your network architecture (switch, router,
firewall, VPN, etc.)
If you want to run the easyE4 with other devices on the Ethernet network and com-
municate through the Internet, you will need to incorporate network security measures
outside of the easyE4.
Make sure that the network area in which you run the easyE4 devices is
secure.
You can do this by using VPN connections or other network security
measures such as a firewall, a VLAN without Internet access, etc.
WARNING
Make sure that it is absolutely impossible to have unauthorized access
to your easyE4 devices through a network. Unauthorized access may
result in property damage and/or, in the worst-case scenario, serious
injury or death.
Eaton recommends implementing measures for protecting against cyberattacks.
