The “Basic Configuration” user manual contains the information you need to
start operating the device. It takes you step by step from the first startup
operation through to the basic settings for operation in your environment.
The following thematic sequence has proven itself in practice:
X Set up device access for operation by entering the IP parameters
X Check the status of the software and update it if necessary
X If a configuration already exists, load/store it
X Configure the ports
X Set up protection from unauthorized access
X Optimize the data transmission with network load control
X Synchronize system time in the network
X Function diagnosis
X Store the newly created configuration to nonvolatile memory
The “Installation” user manual contains a device description, safety
instructions, a description of the display, and the other information that you
need to install the device.
The “Redundancy Configuration” user manual contains the information you
need to select a suitable redundancy procedure and configure that
procedure.
The “Industry Protocols” user manual describes how the device is connected
by means of a communication protocol commonly used in the industry, such
