5.4  Ethernet  Network: Setting IP Address for  the  Field Network 

 

After setting a local PC to the same subnet as the ProtoNode (

Section 

5.1

), open a web browser 

on the PC and enter the IP Address of the ProtoNode; the default address is 192.168.1.24. 

 

The Web Configurator is displayed as the landing page. (

Figure 24

) 

 

To access the FS-GUI, click on the “Diagnostics & Debugging” button in the bottom right corner of
