Requirements for installation and operation 
To configure the SCALANCE W788-xPRO/RR or W74x-1PRO/RR, you require a PG/PC 
connected to a network. If no DHCP server is available, a PC on which the Primary Setup 
Tool (PST) is installed is necessary for the initial assignment of an IP address to the 
SCALANCE W788-xPRO/RR or W74x-1PRO/RR. For the other configuration settings, a 
computer with Telnet or an Internet browser is necessary.
