Adapting IP settings

Introduction
To ba able to access a SCALANCE M-800 with the Web Based Management, the device
must have an IP address.
You have the following options for assigning an IP address to devices with factory settings
for the first time:
● Primary Network Initialization (SINEC PNI)
● DCP Discovery (as of firmware version V4.3)
Access via DCP is write-protected as soon as you enter the password of the factory-set user
"admin". An IP address can be read, but can no longer be changed.
SCALANCE M826
The SCALANCE M826 is supplied without a preset IP address, because for this device there
are applications that require no further configuration (out of the box). In these cases, no
access to the Web Based Management is necessary and therefore no IP address either. The
device will, however, attempt to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server if it is available in
the network. In all other cases, the device must first be assigned an IP address.
SCALANCE M87x and SCALANCE M81x
The devices SCALANCE M87x and SCALANCE M81x are supplied with the following factory
settings:
● IP address: 192.168.1.1
● Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
If you enter the IP address "192.168.1.1" in the address box of a Web browser on a
connected PC (in the examples called "admin PC"), you come directly to the WBM of the
device. However, a change to the factory settings may be necessary due to address areas
already configured in the existing network.
