IP address for SIWAREX

The factory-set IP address is 192.168.0.21. This address is also preset in SIWATOOL. The
connection to a SIWAREX module can be established immediately. The network card used
must be configured for this network.
If the connection is to be established to a specific SIWAREX module, its IP address must be
set in SIWATOOL. The setting is carried out with the menu item "Communication/Set
Ethernet Configuration...".
If the IP address of a SIWAREX module is unknown, it can be determined using the
additional program "Primary Setup Tool". The program is included in the SIWAREX
configuration package.
During the setup, a new IP address can be assigned to the module using SIWATOOL.
The assignment of a new IP address to a SIWAREX module is necessary if several
SIWAREX modules are present in one network.

Siemens devices present in the network.
The MAC (Media Access Control) address can be read on the front of the SIWAREX
module. Every device has an MAC address which is unique worldwide.
The IP address can be determined from the identified MAC address. The Primary Setup Tool
