DCP Configuration

Applications
The DCP protocol is used by STEP 7 and the PST Tool for configuration and diagnostics of
IE switches. In the factory settings, DCP is enabled on all ports; in other words, DCP frames
are forwarded at all ports. With this option, you can disable the sending of these frames per
port, for example to prevent individual parts of the network from being configured with the
PST Tool or to divide the full network into smaller parts for configuration and diagnostics.

Here, you select the ports that will support sending of DCP frames:
