• with an Ethernet patch cable (precondition: the interface is auto MDI-X
capable).
The DHCP server assigns automatically an IP address.
Precondition: DHCP = ON (standard)
Search for the VGC50x in the network using the Ethernet Configuration Tool
and assign it to a virtual COM interface (→ 107).
Start the program for communication with the VGC50x and connect it to the

Set the following Ethernet parameters in the saved CSV file on the memory
stick:
IP ADDRESS: 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.2 for a second unit, and so on)
NETMASK: 255.255.0.0

capable).
Search for the VGC50x in the network using the Ethernet Configuration Tool
and assign it to a virtual COM interface (→ 107).
Start the program for communication with the VGC50x and connect it to the
assigned COM interface.
With the Ethernet Configuration Tool a virtual serial interface (COM) can be as-
signed to an IP address. In addition, it allows configuration of the Ethernet interface
via a computer.
