Transfer setup file
To transfer the setup file, you first need to open a connection between the setup program (PC) and the
device.
A connection is possible via:
•
Ethernet interface (TCP/IP)
•
USB device interface
To use the Ethernet interface, the device must have an IP address.
If DHCP is supported on the network and enabled on the device, the IP address is assigned automati-
cally by the network.
The assignment of the IP address and other required settings in this context can also be performed man-
ually.
chapter 7.21 "Ethernet", Page 178
The USB device interface is needed if there is no network, or no IP address was assigned.
NOTE!
The USB device interface is not intended for a permanent connection, since unintentional removal of the
USB connector cannot be prevented due to the lack of a captive connection.
Establish connection
Function in the menu bar: Data transfer > Establish connection
If you wish to establish a connection (or start data transfer without an existing connection), the setup pro-
gram opens the device connection list. The device connection list contains all the devices for which a
connection has been configured. Users can add connections to new devices, change the features of ex-
isting connections (interface parameters) as well as remove connections.
The "Use connection settings assistant" function assists the user with creating a new entry, i.e. a new
connection, and with editing existing entries.
To create a connection, select the desired device in the device connection list and then press the
button.
