IP address setting

In the "Network Configuration" dialog, you can:
search within the network,
–
add a connection to a controller,
–
modify network settings for the listed controllers,
–
set a controller as a so-called active PLC.
–
In the delivery status of the CPX-CEC-..., a search for an automatically assigned IP address (via the DHCP
protocol) is carried out when it is switched on for the first time. The located IP address is shown in the
screenshot.
After searching unsuccessfully for about 15 seconds, the CPX-CEC-... selects the configured static IP
address automatically. The default address on delivery is 192.168.2.50.

Explanation
Defines a name for the connected CPX-CEC-....
IP address of the device.
You can freely select the address in a closed, local network consisting
exclusively of your devices and your PC depending on the network settings of
your PC. If your network is connected to your company network, you must ask
for the permitted IP addresses (usually from your IT department).
Netmask of the device.
The netmask for IP addresses defines with "0" as a placeholder, the bits
which are used for addressing the slave (host ID). A 1 as placeholder defines
the bits which contain the network address (net ID).
Gateway address.
The IP address of a gateway is necessary if stations from other networks
(other net ID) are to be able to connect with the device. If a gateway is
entered, it will be assumed that a connection to other networks is possible.
Defines whether the IP address, netmask and gateway are to be assigned
automatically.
•
Select this setting if you are using a DHCP server in your network and if
the IP address as well as the netmask are to be assigned automatically via
the DHCP protocol (DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol).
Accepts the settings undertaken and transfers them to the appropriate device.
