NOTE!
• You may need administration rights to change the IP settings of your computer.
If this is the case, contact your system administrator
• The procedures described in this chapter are for Windows XP. For other Windows systems
consult your system administrator.
Most computers which are used in a company network will already be set up to accept an IP
address from a DHCP server. If you computer is used in a control system, however, it is
possible that it has a fixed address. In this case, in order to connect to Fieldgate SFG500’s
LAN2 port, proceed as follows:
Procedure for Windows XP 1. Right-click Start =>Settings =>Control Panel =>Network Connections
2. Right-click Local Area Connection => Properties
3. Using the left mouse button, double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or
click once, then click Properties .
4. Note the addresses that have been assigned to your computer - you will need them later
when you reset your computer after commissioning the Fieldgate SFG500, see below
