Options: Here you have the option of limiting the address area in which devices
are searched for and of selecting an alternative port for communication. You can also activate the User-
defined list of known devices.
User-defined list of known devices
The User-defined list of known devices allows you to manage devices from one central location. Different
users thus have easy access to the same pool of recorded devices or can view their status (e.g. all those in
the same plant) without a device disappearing from view or from the access bar due to an amended IP
address or a power failure, for instance.
All devices saved here correspond to the devices with bookmarks. If a bookmark is placed against a device,
it is automatically adopted into the list and if the bookmark is deleted it is removed from the list.
NOTE
Make security copies of this list on a regular basis.
Process
1. Save a file ending in .txt (e.g. knownDevices.txt) on a drive to which all required users have access.
2. Place a check against Options → User-defined list of known devices
3. Use Search to select the .txt file saved as per 1. above.
4. Confirm the entries made with OK.
→ All bookmarked devices will now be listed by name and serial number in the saved file and be
displayed in the connection dialogue.
Manual IP address: This is where you can call up a device directly via its known IP address or place a
bookmark.
NOTE
Once a device is installed in a machine it is typically assigned an IP address. In the event
of temporary access via an external PC from another sub-network (e.g. for resetting
parameters) the IP address is temporarily amended when connection is established.
In order for the machine to be able to access the device as usual again after the
temporary amendment in IP address, it needs to recognise the previous IP address again.
This occurs by means of a device restart. Please therefore confirm the corresponding
question with Yes.
Connection: Create a connection to the selected device.
