5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet
To connect to the network using Ethernet, the network number, node number, and IP ad-
dress must be set. Use the CX-Designer to set the settings. For details, refer to System Set-
tings and Project Properties in the CX-Designer’s Online Help.
The following connection methods are possible when connecting via the Ethernet only.
• Connecting PT Directly to the Host
Connect the PT to the host using twisted-pair cross cable.
