Step 5 – Set device name – device naming
The PROFINET-IO device has a unique MAC address that is part of the factory settings. You can find this
on the name plate of the bar code reader.
This information is used to assign a unique, plant-specific device name ("NameOfStation") to the device via
the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol" (DCP).
The PROFINET-IO also uses the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol" (DCP) for the IP address assign-
ment during each system boot-up if the IO device is located in the same subnet.
NOTICE
All BCL 248i participants in a PROFINET-IO network must be located in the same subnet.
Device naming
PROFINET-IO defines the "naming of the device" as the creation of a name-based relationship for a
PROFINET-IO device.
Assigning the device name to the configured IO devices
Ä Select the respective BCL 248i bar code reader for the "device naming" based on its MAC address.
ð This participant is assigned the unique "device name." This must match the device name in the HW
config and must not be longer than 255 characters.

NOTICE
Multiple BCL 248i can be distinguished by the MAC addresses displayed. The MAC address
may be found on the name plate of the respective bar code reader.
