Initial assignment of an IP address
Configuration options
An initial IP address for an IE switch cannot be assigned using Web Based Management
(WBM) because this configuration tool can only be used if an IP address already exists.
The following options are available to assign an IP address to an unconfigured device:
●
DHCP
(default)
●
Primary Setup Tool
(PST)
– To be able to assign an IP address to the IE switch with the PST, it must be possible
to reach the IE switch via Ethernet.
– You will find the PST on the Internet pages of Siemens Industry Online Support under
the entry ID 19440762
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19440762
).
– For further information about assigning the IP address with the PST, refer to the
documentation "Primary Setup Tool (PST)".
●
STEP 7
In STEP 7, you can configure the topology, the device name and the IP address. If you
connect an unconfigured IE switch to the controller, the controller assigns the configured
device name and the IP address to the IE switch automatically.
–
STEP 7 as of V5.5 SP4
For further information on the assignment of the IP address using STEP 7 refer to the
documentation "Configuring Hardware and Communication Connections STEP 7", in
the section "Steps For Configuring a PROFINET IO System".
–
STEP 7 Basic as of V13 SP1
or
STEP 7 Professional as of V13 SP1
For further information on assigning the IP address using STEP 7, refer to the online
help "Information system", section "Addressing PROFINET devices".
●
CLI
via the serial interface
For further information on assigning the IP address using the CLI, refer to the
documentation "SCALANCE XB-200 Command Line Interface".
●
NCM PC
For further information on assigning the IP address using NCM PC, refer to the
documentation "Commissioning PC stations - Manual and Quick Start", in the section
"Creating a PROFINET IO system".
Note
Whe
n the product ships and following "Restore Factory Defaults and Restart", DHCP is
enabled. If a DHCP server is available in the local area network, and this responds to the
DHCP request of an IE switch, the IP address, subnet mask and gateway are assigned
automatically when the device first starts up.
