Assigning the Ethernet address later
It is possible to assign the IP address later on (e.g. on modular machines). In this case, an IP
address is not assigned in HW Config, but activated differently with the "Set IP address using
different method" option. The address will then be assigned later on the machine, for example,
by a the user program or by commissioning tools, such as PRONETA.
Further information on PRONETA can be found on the Internet:
