4.4.1 Setting up the hardware
Although there are several different ways the components can be set up, the following is
perhaps the most efficient and simplest.
1) First make sure the computer is disconnected from LAN Network (otherwise the
Network IP address will be dynamic and will not be able to communicate with the
drive or controller)
2) Connect the computer to the drive and the drive to the controller using Ethernet
cables.
3) Then connect the drive to the computer a second time using the USB keypad and
cable from the drive. This is to enable communication for Easy Starter on the actual
computer.

4.4.2 Configuring IP addresses
In order for the drive and controller to communicate via Ethernet/IP to the computer, the
computer must have a constant IP address in the same range as both drive and controller.
1) Make sure you know the IP address of the controller. This is typically found
somewhere on the controller itself.
2) Next the IP address of the drive can be found and modified if necessary in Easy
Starter under the parameter’s tab in Ethernet/IP settings. See Note for more info.
3) To configure the Network IP address on the computer:
(a) Open Network and Sharing Center.
(b) Select Change adapter settings on the right
(c) Double click the network and open its properties
(d) Double click (TCP/IPv4). Here is where you are able to change the
network’s IP address (Figure 40). Change it to be within the same range
as the drive and controller. Example:
(i) Drive: 192.168.1.11
(ii) Controller: 192.168.1.100
(iii) Network: 192.168.1.(1-250)
