The input fields are configured so that you may use up to 50 characters. Special characters may be used.
The device name and installation location are displayed in the information bar at the top right and help you
to keep track of the device.
IP configuration
The IP configuration can be performed either by the PROFINET controller, automatically using the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or manually. When the address is assigned automatically, the IP may
change after a device restart, depending on the settings of the DHCP server.
PROFINET
If the device is configured in a PROFINET network, the device receives its IP configuration from the
PROFINET controller. The IP configuration cannot be performed automatically or manually with an existing
PROFINET connection.
Automatic
Select the checkbox “automatic (DHCP)” to get a configuration of the IP address, the subnet mask, and the
default gateway from a server working in the network with corresponding function.
The device sends a request to the server and adopts the configuration received from the DHCP server after
you have saved the settings by clicking on the Apply button. The device can no longer be reached via the
default IP because now has a new IP address. Please contact your network administrator or use an
appropriate tool (Indu-Sol ServiceTool) to obtain the new IP address.
Manual
If your network does not have a DHCP server or you want to make the settings manually, disable the
“automatic (DHCP)” button and enter the following data:

IP address: Please note that the IP address you set must be accessible from your PC so that you
can connect to the device again to make the other settings.

Subnet mask: Enter the subnet mask of the IP address, this separates the IP address into a
network part and a device part. This defines which IP addresses can be reached directly by the
device and which addresses must be addressed via a gateway.

Gateway: Enter a default gateway. The gateway is used to communicate with devices outside
your subnet.
