Appendix 1
The appendix describes the parts of the CIM 500 web server
needed for the configuration of a Modbus TCP Ethernet
connection. For other CIM 500 web server features, not
specifically related to Modbus TCP, see the CIM 500 Installation
& Operating instructions.
A.1 How to configure an IP address on your PC
For connecting a PC to the CIM 500 via Ethernet, the PC must be
set up to use a fixed (static) IP address belonging to the same
subnetwork as the CIM 500.
1. Open "Control Panel".
2. Enter "Network and Sharing Center".
3. Click [Change adapter settings].
4. Right-click and select "Properties" for Ethernet adapter.
Typically "Local Area Connection".
5. Select properties for "Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4).
6. Select tab "Alternate Configuration".
7. Configure an IP address and subnet mask to be used by your
PC. See fig. 28.

A.2 Web server configuration
The built-in web server is an easy and effective way to monitor
status of the CIM 500 module and configure the available
functions and Industrial Ethernet protocols. The web server also
makes it possible to update the firmware of the CIM module, and
store/restore settings.
To establish a connection from a PC to CIM 500, proceed as
follows:
Before configuration
• Check that PC and CIM module are connected via an Ethernet
cable.
• Check that the PC Ethernet port is set to the same network as
the CIM module. For network configuration, see section A.1
How to configure an IP address on your PC.
To establish a connection from a PC to the CIM 500 for the first
time, the following steps are required:
1. Open a standard Internet browser and type 192.168.1.100 in
the URL address field.
2. Log in to the Web server.
