4.5.1
Selecting communication port for configuration
When a relay is configured to a PCM600 project, the connection between the relay and
the tool can be established using a point-to-point link between the relay front port and
the computer or by connecting the computer to the relay rear port over an Ethernet
station bus. In PCM600, the front or rear communication port can be selected from the
project structure.
When using the front port, DHCP server functionality must be activated in the
computer network adapter settings to get the IP address from the relay. Alternatively,
the computer network adapter IP address can be set manually to the same subnet range
as the front port.

Communication port options
•
Check that the settings are correct to ensure successful configuration access to the
relay.
•
Computer port settings must match relay settings (IP address, subnet mask,
DHCP).
•
Any firewall in the computer or in the network must pass required
communication services.
•
When using the front port and switching the connection from the computer
to another relay, it takes some time before the computer refreshes the relay's
MAC address for front port IP address automatically. The MAC address
can also be reset manually by clearing the computer ARP table.
