4.3.5 Virtual network card (VNET)
Apart from the hardware communication connections of the MOVI-C
®
CONTROLLER,
the Windows operating system is also provided with a virtual network card (VNET).
VNET allows for a very simple addressing of the control section of the
MOVI-C
®
CONTROLLER. The virtual network card behaves like a real network card
and you can directly address the control section via the engineering software using the
address 192.168.2.2 set as default in delivery state.
If you do not use the virtual network card (VNET), you have to interconnect the real
network connections of the Windows section (X90) and of the control section (X80,
X82) via a network switch.
INFORMATION
The virtual network card (VNET) does not support DHCP operation.
Setting the network address of the Windows section
INFORMATION
Setting the network address is only required if you want to use a network address
other than the default value. The network address (192.168.2.1) used in following
instructions is initially set as default value for the Windows section.
Set the network addresses of the Windows section with the corresponding settings
menus in the Windows operating system.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the start menu and click on the "Settings" icon.
2. Click on the "Network and Internet" tile and open the "Ethernet" submenu.
