Assigning an IP address to the fieldbus controller

The IP address must be unique in the network!
To ensure error-free network communication, the IP addresses assigned to the PC
and to the fieldbus controller must be unique within the network!
In the event of an error, the following error message "IP address configuration
error" (error code 6 - error argument 6) is indicated by the I/O LED at the fieldbus
controller restart.
An IP address for the fieldbus controller can be assigned using the following
setting possibilities:
• Address selection switch (DIP switch),
• WebBasedManagement (WBM),
• DHCP,
• BootP or
• WAGO ETHERNET settings.
The option for using the address selection switch is detailed in this QuickStart
Guide. The other options are not described here, as these are explained completely
in the manual for the "750-880 ETHERNET Programmable Fieldbus Controller".
Use the address selection switch to set the host ID (the last byte of the IP address),
which is binary encoded in the range between 1 and 254.
The network address consists of the first three bytes of the IP address; the factory
default setting for this is 192.168.1. You can change this network address in the
WebBasedManagement system under menu item TCP/IP in the dialog input field
"Switch IP address."

192
The IP address statically set previously by WebBasedManagement will be
overwritten with the address assigned by the address selection switch.
