Options for configuring the IP address of a PC
INFORMATION
Note that the IP address of the PC does not have to belong to the same subnet-
work as the fieldbus controller modules to perform the auto configuration with the
ECShell engineering software. The IP address of the PC must be set correctly in
order to read and modify the parameters correctly.
If a fieldbus controller network or subnetwork has been configured using auto
configuration, one of the three following procedures must be used to enable the
PC to connect to the subnetwork and use the ECShell engineering software:
Option
Description
Method 1
Allow the DHCP service that is integrated in the fieldbus controller to automatically assign an IP
address to the PC.
Method 2
Manually change the IP address and/or the subnet mask of the PC to adapt it to the subnetwork
of the fieldbus controller.
Method 3
Manually change the IP address of the auto configuration master to a new subnetwork that is
accessible to the IP address that is already configured in the PC.
All of these options are valid. The one that is used is entirely up to the user.
8.2.1.
Method 1
– using the DHCP service for assigning an IP address
If you connect to a single subnetwork of a system and if the PC is configured in
such a way that it is assigned its IP address, it is advisable to allow the network
to automatically assign an IP address to the PC using the integrated DHCP ser-
vice. This is the simplest method, particularly if the PC is already set to having its
IP address assigned.
If you use the DHCP service of the fieldbus controller to assign the IP address,
you do not need to start ECShell to do this. If you follow the procedure described
in section “Changing the IP address of the PC” in Appendix B – “Configuring the
PC fo
r Ethernet subnetworks”, you will see the TCP/IP characteristics of the PC.
