7.5

Setting up the IP address (optional)

The IPC requires an IP address in your company network to operate the connectivity module and
to establish the connection to SIDRIVE IQ.
The LAN interface "X1 P1" of the IPC to connect with the Internet is configured as DHCP
client (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). The LAN interface automatically sources an
IP address from the next accessible DHCP server. When required, via a Remote Desktop
Connection, you can deactivate DHCP for the LAN interface "X1 P1" and assign a fixed IP
address.
Minimum requirements placed on the security architecture
We recommend using an architecture with a second DMZ (demilitarized zone). The second
DMZ separates the OT from the IT network.
