3.5 Adjusting the configuration
3.5.1 Unicast filter
A Unicast filter is provided for the Service Bridge; it allows access to the plant bus
only for selected stations, e.g. the engineering station. As this configuration is
plant-specific due to the MAC address, the Unicast filter is not included in the pre-
set configuration file. It has to be configured later.
You can determine the MAC address of the network adapter, e.g. via the
command prompt (CMD) using the command "ipconfig/all".
Information about all network adapters is displayed.
In the following, the MAC address of the network card is required to access the
PROFINET networks.
Generating an entry in filter table
The Unicast filter works through a filter table that contains all the permitted MAC
addresses. The MAC address of the ES, i.e. that of the separate network adapter
for the PROFINET networks, must be entered in this table.
1. Navigate to the "Layer 2 > Unicast" menu (1)(2).
2. Select the VLAN ID "VLAN 1" (3) and enter the MAC address of the separate
network adapter (4).
Click on the "Create" button (5) to create the entry.
When replacing the Engineering Station or the network card for access to the
PROFINET networks, the entry in the filter table must be adapted accordingly.
