Page 15: Attaching The Connecting Cables
Information Even if you are not immediately integrating iFerm Nano Terminal into your network or connecting it to an end device, you should make the device’s internal Ethernet connection straight away. This means that later on you only have to insert an Ethernet cable into the plug of the cable screw con- nection without having to open the device again. -
Page 16: Connecting The Ethernet Cable
If you have not yet made the connection, you must do this first, see chap- ter “4.2.6 Attaching the connecting cables” on page 15. Information The standard IP address of iFerm Nano Terminal is 192.168.0.222. Only change this if it is absolutely necessary due to your network structure; in this case a device restart is required (incl. deleting the currently stored graphs*). -
