8.1.5 Connecting to the SPS with PC A PC connection to the SPS 4000 is required for the data exchange via the Froling visualisation software or for analysis via the System Diagnostic Manager. For a connection to the SPS 4000, the Ethernet interface integrated on the back of the display is used.
If the system is not integrated into a local area network, the PC is connected directly to the Ethernet interface of the SPS 4000 with a cross-over cable. A cross-over cable is used for direct connections between two network- compatible devices. The difference compared to a conventional network cable is that the signals for sending and receiving data are crossed.
DHCP switched on If the DHCP function is activated on the SPS 4000, the network settings are automatically retrieved from the server/router and the system integrated in the local network. ADVANTAGE: There must be no incorrect network settings present, for example, a duplicate assignment of a network address.
Page 185
DISADVANTAGE: If the boiler is integrated in a local network, the settings on the SPS 4000 must be checked in the event of a change and adjusted, if necessary. If there are several devices on your network with manual setting of the IP address, there is the risk of incorrect network settings through a duplicate assignment.
255.255.0.0 gives a maximum of 65,534 usable IP addresses). Importantly, unlike the IP address the subnet mask must be the same in the respective network for all devices. For the manual assignment of the subnet mask to the SPS 4000, DHCP must be deactivated. ⇨ See "DHCP settings" [page 184] ❒...

A gateway is a kind of transition point from one network to the other (e.g. Internet). In most local networks the default gateway is usually the IP address of the router. For the data exchange between PC and SPS 4000 within the local network or with direct connections, the default gateway is not required.
