DCP Forwarding
Applications
The DCP protocol is used by STEP 7 and the PST Tool for configuration and diagnostics.
When shipped, DCP is enabled on all ports; in other words, DCP frames are forwarded at all
ports. With this option, you can disable the sending of these frames for individual ports, for
example to prevent individual parts of the network from being configured with the PST Tool
or to divide the full network into smaller parts for configuration and diagnostics.
All the ports of the device are displayed on this WBM page.
