Initial Assignment Of An Ip Address - Siemens SCALANCE X-200 Configuration Manual

3.2

Initial assignment of an IP address

Configuration options
An initial IP address for an IE switch cannot be assigned using Web Based Management or
the Command Line Interface because these configuration tools require that an IP address
already exists.
The following options are available to assign an IP address to an unconfigured device
currently without an IP address:
● By DHCP
● With the STEP 7 configuration tool
● With the NCM PC configuration tool
● With the Primary Setup Tool (PST) configuration tool
You will find the PST on the Internet pages of Siemens Industry Online Support under the
following entry ID 19440762
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19440762).
Note
As of firmware version 5.1.0 (SCALANCE X-200) or 5.2.0 (SCALANCE X-200IRT), you
need to use PST version 4.2 or higher. Older versions of the PST (4.1 and older) are no
longer compatible.
For more detailed information on using the configuration tools, refer to the relevant manuals.
DHCP
Note
DHCP is the factory setting
When the devices ship and after resetting to factory defaults, DHCP is active. If a DHCP
server is available in the local area network, and this responds to the DHCP request of the IE
switch, the IP address, subnet mask and gateway are assigned automatically when the
module first starts up.
