Click the link “

Back”

 to return to the Main Menu and then click Configure Device Address Table to add 

devices. 

You need to add two devices, one for the PC (or Master) and one for the IED device. 

In the example shown below I have given the PC address 3 and used its IP address (169.254.199.21) 
when adding to the table.
