2.4.4 Assigning the IP address of the ETCHx
For communication via a network or a local Ethernet cable, the ETCHx
requires a unambiguous IP address (with subnet mask) that matches the
other nodes. When the control system is delivered, it has a specific, but
random IP address.
The IP address of the ETCHx is assigned via the monitor interface (as
described in the following). This IP address is requested when connections
are established in the ETC−MMI Gateway (
¶ 34).
Specify the IP address according to the following general rules for IP
addresses:
If the control system and PC are connected with a local network segment or
via a direct Ethernet connection (without Internet/Intranet connection),
assign IP addresses of class B or class C to the two network stations.
ƒ Addresses of class B are in the range from 128.0.0.0 to
191.255.255.255. The corresponding subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
(default).
ƒ Addresses of class C are in the range from 192.0.0.0 to
223.255.255.255. The corresponding subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
(default).
The gateway address is not relevant here. You can enter a free IP address of
the subnetwork (not 0.0.0.0).

This address must be specified in the network
connection of the PC (TCP/IP settings): 181.16.1.11 255.255.0.0 181.16.1.1
)
Note!
Do not use any leading zeros in the IP addresses. Otherwise, the
IP address will be interpreted as octa decimal number.
If ETCHx and PC are to be connected with an existing network segment, the
addresses and the subnet mask must be assigned by the network
administrator.

Note!
If the Ethernet adapter supports 100Base−T technology, "Auto
Select" or "10Base−T" must be set for the "Media Type" property.
