Primary Setup Tool

Description
With the Primary Setup Tool (PST), an address assignment (for example an IP address) is
made via the network for unconfigured SIMATIC NET network components, Ethernet CPs
and gateways. This is only possible if the SIMATIC NET devices have a default ETHERNET
(MAC) address and can be reached online in the network. The nodes must also support the
DCP protocol. The PST uses a filter view to allow a clear presentation of modules and
devices.
Note
The Primary Setup Tool supports only SIMATIC NET Ethernet network components with
management functionality (Web-based Management and/or SNMP). With these
components, you also have the option of calling Web-based Management for diagnostics
and configuration.
