Figure: "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties, Alternate Configuration"
8 The IP address must not be generated automatically.
(DHCP = Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
You require a fixed IP address. --> Define this accordingly!
8 Enter an appropriate IP address.
8 The subnet mask of your laptop must be identical with that of the iTNC 530 HSCI.
Enter this accordingly (the standard gateway is of no significance here).
8 Confirm the settings with OK.
On laptops with Windows XP or Windows 7 you can also click the "Alternate configuration" tab and
set a fixed IP address there.
Remember:
The laptop first tries to connect to the control using the "General configuration (DHCP may be
configured there). This may take several minutes. The "Alternate configuration" is only used after
a timeout.
Write down the original settings of "General" or "Alternate Configuration" which you are going to
overwrite and will have to restore later!
To make the following changes, you require the relevant permissions. If necessary, contact your
system administrator.
We recommend using the IP address of the iTNC 530 HSCI and increasing the last place by one.
Example:
Address of the iTNC 530 HSCI: 160.1.180.5
Address of the laptop: 160.1.180.6
