Assignment of an IP address

6.1.1

Introduction

Initial assignment of an IP address
Note
The initial assignment of an IP address for an IE Switch X-200 is not possible with Web
Based Management because this configuration tool requires that an IP address is already
available.
The IP address can only be assigned when the IE switch X-200 can be reached via Ethernet.
There are three ways of assigning an IP address to an unconfigured device, using:
● DHCP
● STEP 7 V 5.3 plus SP 1 or higher
● Primary Setup Tool V3 or higher
