3.1.1 Applications and prerequisites
IP assignment using
WuTility
works regardless of the current
network parameters of the device and the computer used. This
means that even if the device does not have IP parameters
consistent with the respective network,
WuTility
can be used to
overwrite them. Likewise,
WuTility
can be used to assign any
values not consistent with the network the PC is located in.
• The PC and device must be located in the same physical
network. This means you cannot assign values through a
router.
• Any firewalls and network security packages installed on
the PC must allow communication between WuTility and
the device based on UDP broadcasts. If necessary these
must be correspondingly configured or temporarily turned
off.
