IP address and subnet mask
After installation of the protocol and to simplify setting up communication with the PCU, it is
necessary to check the IP address and the subnet mask and set them, if necessary:
IP address
We recommend using an IP address from the address range used by Windows XP for
automatic configuration, if no DHCP server is accessible (Automatic Private IP Addressing:
169.254.x.x).
The last two digits must be in the range of 1 to 254.
● 169.254. 10. 1
Subnet mask
The subnet screen must be permanently set to the specified value:
● 255.255. 0. 0
