Editing IP addresses and communication connections

Overview
This section describes how you can, from your HMI device, change the IP addresses of
controllers and other HMI devices in the subnet of your HMI device and adapt the associated
communication connections accordingly. This gives you the ability to create a project,
transfer it to multiple HMI devices and then adapt the respective controller connections
without changing the project.
If you change the IP addresses of other devices in the subnet of your HMI device, the
following steps are required:
● Update IP address and device name; see section
"Assigning IP address and device name (Page 150)"
● Update communication connection; see section
"Configuring a communication connection (Page 153)".
