The subnet for the two PROFINET ports must be different from the subnet for the
port used for the programming software connection. The default subnet for the
Ethernet port (GbE) is 192.168.0.100 (subnet mask is 255.255.255.0).
The PROFINET ports' IP address and gateway have default values of 0.0.0.0. Also,
the device name of the PROFINET IO-Controller functionality is NULL (empty string).
