Searching for
Ethernet nodes
114
You can use the Address Editor to find Ethernet nodes in a network. It can also be used
for detecting new Ethernet nodes. The Address Editor also helps you to locate the Ether-
net interface of detected Ethernet nodes.
Proceed as follows to search for Ethernet nodes and localize the hardware:
1. Select "Ethernet" as the interface for PC and unit. To do so, click on the correspond-
ing option field in the lower part of the window.
2. Click [Next] to confirm your selection and proceed to the next dialog.
3. Wait for the network scan to start automatically. The default setting for the waiting
time (scan timeout) is 3 s [2]
Note:If you no units are detected during the network scan, the wiring might be inad-
equate, or you have several network cards installed (activated) in your PC.
In this case, proceed as follows:
• Select the required card. To do so, click "Select network card" [3] in the toolbar.
• Start the network scan manually. To do so, click "Start network scan" [1] in the
toolbar.
[1] "Start network scan" icon
[2] "Scan timeout" edit box
[3] "Select network card" icon
[4] "Localize" check box
As a result, the current addresses of all Ethernet nodes in the connected network will
be displayed.
4. Mark the "Localize" check box [4] to localize an Ethernet node.
The link/act LED of the first Ethernet interface of the respective Ethernet node will
flash green.
