Configuring the Windows Ethernet interface

This topic applies only to the SIMATIC IPC427C-RTX/ -RTX F/ -HMI/RTX and
SIMATIC HMI IPC477C-RTX/ -RTX F/ -HMI/RTX and is not applicable for the
SIMATIC IPC427C-HMI and SIMATIC HMI IPC477C-HMI. The physical locations of the
Ethernet connections of the SIMATIC IPC427C differ from thoseof the SIMATIC HMI
IPC477C. Pre-configuration of the Ethernet connections, however, is identical for both
SIMATIC Embedded Bundles.
Note
The Ethernet address and subnet mask of the Ethernet interface used with Windows will not
be changed by a download of a STEP 7 project into the PC-Station.

communication, follow these steps:
1. Open the Windows control panel.
2. From the control panel, open: Network Connections > Local Area Network
3. Click the Properties button on the "Local Area Connection Status" dialog.
4. Scroll to and double-click the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" connection from the list.
