Setting the network connection to the terminal bus
If several network adapters are installed in the PC, network connections to the terminal bus
must be set in order for the PC to be operated in the PCS 7 plant.
After a PCS 7 installation, a dialog appears in which the network adapter for the terminal bus
must be selected. Once an adapter is selected, confirm it with "OK" and then confirm the
"Reinitialize" dialog with "Yes".
● If several standard network adapters are used, the adapter for the terminal bus must appear
first. (Network Properties: "Advanced > Advanced Settings").
● Network adapters with no functionality must be disabled.
You can find more information on this subject in the following sections:
● Section "How to set the communication module for connecting to the terminal bus
● Section "How to access PC stations outside a subnet (Page 112)"

PC station as a file server for storing projects for multiproject engineering
Note
An engineering station must be installed on a server operating system for a PC station to be
used as a file server for multi-project engineering.
PCS 7 licenses are not required for this file server.
You can find more rules about storing projects on network servers in the online help for STEP
7.

How to prepare the engineering station for multi-user operation
Some of the STEP 7 configuration data is saved in a database. Access to this data is performed
and coordinated via a Sybase server.
For this reason, a running Sybase server is an essential requirement. After the installation of
STEP 7, this Sybase server runs in the context of the logged-on user and is started
automatically when the user logs on.
