2�2�1 Applications and prerequisites
IP assignment using WuTility works regardless of the current
network parameters of the Com-Server and the computer
used. This means that even if the Com-Server does not have
IP parameters consistent with the respective network, WuTility
can be used to overwrite them. Likewise, WuTility can be used
to assign any values not consistent with the network the PC is
located in.
• The PC and Com-Server must be located in the same physi-
cal network. This means you cannot assign values through
a router.
• Any firewalls and network security packages installed on
the PC must allow communication between WuTility and
the Com-Server based on UDP broadcasts. If necessary
these must be correspondingly configured or temporarily
turned off.
