Undertaking network settings
If you have created a connection using SBO-DeviceManager,
you can also modify the network settings of the devices.
– Activation of automatic assignment of the IP address
(requires a DHCP server in the network)
– Specification of a fixed IP address.
Assign IP address
automatically Select this setting if you are using a DHCP server in your
network and if the IP address is to be assigned automatic­
ally via DHCP (DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol). The DHCP server manages a range of
IP addresses and assigns them to the DHCP-capable end
terminals.
Note
The IP address of the equipment is set to 0.0.0.0 if
– the DHCP server is not found
– assignment of the IP address fails.
Specifying a
fixed IP address If you are not using a DHCP server, you must specify a fixed
IP address. Make sure:
that the IP address and the network mask of the devices
are suited to the network settings of your PC
that the IP addresses of the devices are different (even if
the devices are not connected in the network at the same
time).
If you have any problems, please consult your system
administrator.
Note
Additional information on IP addressing can be found in
the appendix and in the SBO-DeviceManager manual.
