Assigning the IP address
The first assignment of an IP address for the SCALANCE cannot be done with
Web Based Management, because this configuration tool requires an IP address in
the first place.
There are several ways to assign an IP address to an unconfigured device:
•
SINEC PNI
•
PRONETA
•
STEP 7
•
DHCP
SINEC PNI
Industry Online Support.
Assign the planned IP address to the two SCALANCE routers with one of the
aforementioned tools:
