Configuring network operation
5.11.1
Overview
Addressing computers
Computers are usually addressed using computer names within a PROFINET network.
However, the network address is set with RemoteOperate.
Determine the following parameters:
● Is DHCP used in the local network for dynamic assignment of addresses?
If not, get a TCP/IP address for the HMI device.
● Which TCP/IP address does the default gateway have?
● If a DNS network is used, what is the address of the name server?
● If a WINS network is used, what is the address of the name server?
Configuration includes:
● Specifying the computer name of the HMI device
● Specifying the IP address and name server
● Specifying the logon data
RemoteOperate connection overwrites network parameters
When you start RemoteOperate and connect the client to a server in the server selection
list, RemoteOperate overwrites the network parameters with the stored properties of the
server connection. If another application needs the network parameters for a network
connection, note the following:
• Note down the network parameters of the application.
• After the start, exit RemoteOperate and re-configure the network.
• Alternatively, select a shared IP address and subnet mask for RemoteOperate and your
application.
Parameterization is described from section "Specifying the computer name of the HMI device
(Page 112)" on.
