5.2 Establish an Ethernet connection
Note
On delivery, the integrated DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) of the
motor controller is active. The DHCP server enables direct connection between the
motor controller and a PC configured individually as a DHCP client.
The factory setting “DHCP Server Active” is generally not suitable for network operation.
In an existing network, there is typically a DHCP server already available. Two active
DHCP servers on a network can lead to network faults.
For initial start-up, connect the motor controller directly to the PC via the Ethernet
interface .
Do not connect the motor controller to the network as a DHCP server if another DH­
CP server is already enabled on the network.
To integrated in a network, first change the IP configuration of the motor controller
with FCT (
è
Chapter 5.7.4).

Connection
to be established
