4.1 Before Configuring the Device

The error LED flashes whenever the device is receiving power but is not connected to a network. The error LED will flash occa-
sionally during the configuration process.
At power-up, the communication card loads the IP address stored in the soft starter.

Network communication parameters for the communication card can be set via the soft starter or via the on-board web server.
• The card uses a static IP address by default. To enable DHCP addressing, set parameter 12–20 DHCP to enable or change the
setting via the on-board web server.
• The IP address can be set via the programmable parameters of the soft starter.
• The web server can configure the IP address and messaging settings for MQTT/OPC UA operation.
