Network connection via Ethernet
5.2.1
Connection to PC/laptop
For communication between the controller and the FCT to take place, you must connect the controller
to your PC/laptop via the Ethernet interface. Use a commercially available network cable for this pur
pose (plug connector RJ-45). The cable type (straight or crossed connection) is recognised automatic
ally.
The DHCP server of the controller is intended for creating a direct connection between the controller
and an individual PC/laptop. It is not intended to supply larger networks with IP addresses.
It assigns IP addresses in a range of 192.168.178.110 … 192.168.178.209 and the subnet mask
255.255.255.0. A gateway is not assigned.
Note
At delivery, the controller has an active DHCP server.
The controller cannot be connected to a network immediately at initial start-up, since its
active DHCP server could lead to network malfunctions if two active DHCP servers are
present in one network.
If the DHCP client on your PC/laptop is active (usually standard setting), then the DHCP
server of the controller assigns your PC/laptop an IP address at initial start-up, and you
can access the controller.
If you cannot build up a connection to the controller
