Figure 106) automatically with the help of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or adjust
the settings manually.
Automatic
In order to receive a configuration for the IP-Address, the subnet mask and the standard gateway
from a server working in the network with the corresponding functionality, activate the DHCP client
function.
After you have saved the settings by clicking the apply button, the device sends a query to the
network and accepts the configuration received by the DHCP server. Because the device has now
received a new IP address, it is no longer able to be reached via the previously configured IP. Please
contact your network administrator to receive a new IP address.
Manual
If your network does not possess a DHCP or BootP server, or if the settings should be made by hand,
then select the manual IP configuration via the top area of the screen. Please check exactly which
settings you change so that problems involving duplicate IP addresses do not result, since these could
have a negative influence on the entire network. The format of the IP address, the subnet mask, and
the gateway must be entered in decimal point format. The following settings are required:
IP address: Please note that the set IP address must be able to be reached from your PC so that
you can connect again with the device in order to make additional settings.
Subnet mask: Enter the subnet mask IP address; this separates the IP address into a network
component and a device component. This specifies which IP addresses are able to be reached
in the network and which addresses are located in other subnets and only accessible via routers.
Gateway: Specify the standard gateway of switches. The gateway is used to communicate with
devices outside of the subnet.
PROFINET-DCP
If you configure the device in a profinet project the IP-Address is set with the DCP-Protocol by the
Profinet-Controller depending on the device name. If the device has an active connection to a
Profinet-Controller it is not possible to set the IP-Address in the Webinterface.
