In PCM600, the front or rear communication port can be selected from the project
structure.
When using the front port, DHCP server functionality must be activated in the computer
network adapter settings to get the IP address from the relay. Alternatively, the computer
network adapter IP address can be set manually to the same subnet range as the front port.

• Check that the settings are correct to ensure successful configuration access to the
relay.
• Computer port settings must match relay settings (IP address, subnet mask,
DHCP).
• Any firewall in the computer or in the network must pass required
communication services.
• When using the front port and switching the connection from the computer to
another relay, it takes some time before the computer refreshes the relay's MAC
address for front port IP address automatically. The MAC address can also be
reset manually by clearing the computer ARP table.
