Introduction
The device has been developed for use in a harsh industrial environment.
Accordingly, the installation process has been kept simple. Thanks to the
selected default settings, you only have to enter a few settings before starting
to operate the device.
Note: The device saves changed settings in the temporary memory when
you click "Set".
You use the Basic Settings > Load/Save dialog to save changed
settings in the local memory of the device.

1 Defining IP parameters
Note: You will find background information on this topic here: “IP Parameter
Basics” on page 111.
To access the device via the network during the first installation, you require
the IP parameters of the device.
The device gives you the following options for defining IP parameters:
Defining IP Parameters via DHCP (state on delivery)
You need a DHCP server for this. The DHCP server assigns the IP
parameters to the device using its MAC address or its system name.
Defining IP Parameters via HiDiscovery
You choose this method on a previously installed network device or if you
have another Ethernet connection between your PC and the device.
Defining IP Parameters via BOOTP
You need a BOOTP server for this method. The BOOTP server assigns
the IP parameters to the device using its MAC address.
Defining IP parameters via the graphical user interface
You choose this method if your device already has an IP address and can
be accessed via the network.

1.1 Defining IP Parameters via
DHCP (state on delivery)
Note: You will find background information on this topic here: “Basics of the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)” on page 117.
Prerequisite:
You need a DHCP server. The DHCP server assigns t
he configuration
data to the device using its MAC addr
ess or its system name.
On delivery, the definition of the IP parameters via a DHCP server is
activated. The device tries to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
If there is no response from the DHCP server, the device sets the IP address
to 0.0.0.0 and makes another attempt to obtain a valid IP address.
To activate or deactivate the definition of the IP parameters via a DHCP
server, you change the source from which the device obtains its IP
parameters in the Basic Settings > Network dialog, "Management
Interface" frame.

1.2 Defining IP Parameters via
HiDiscovery
The HiDiscovery protocol enables you to assign IP parameters to the device
via the Ethernet.
Install the HiDiscovery software on your PC. You can download the software
from the Hirschmann product pages.
Start the HiDiscovery program.
Figure 1: HiDiscovery
When HiDiscovery is started, HiDiscovery automatically searches the
network for those devices which support the HiDiscovery protocol.

HiDiscovery uses the first network interface found for the PC. If your
computer has several network cards, you can select the one you desire in the
HiDiscovery toolbar.
HiDiscovery displays a line for every device that reacts to the HiDiscovery
protocol.
HiDiscovery enables you to identify the devices displayed.
Select a device line.
Click the "Signal" symbol in the tool bar to set the LEDs for the selected
device flashing. To switch off the flashing, click on the symbol again.
By double-clicking a line, you open a window in which you can enter the
device name and the IP parameters.
Figure 2: HiDiscovery – IP parameter assignment
Note: For security reasons, switch off the HiDiscovery function for the device
in the graphical user interface, after you have assigned the IP parameters to
the device.
See “Enabling/disabling HiDiscovery access” on page 38.
Note: So that the entries are available again after a restart, you save the
settings in the local non-volatile memory of the device via the "Load/Save"
dialog.

Prerequisite:
Your device already has an IP address and can be accessed via the
network.
Procedure:
Open the Basic Settings > Network dialog.
In the "IP Parameters" frame, define the IP parameters of the device:
To temporarily save the changes, click "Set".
Note: So that the entries are available again after a restart, you save the
settings in the local non-volatile memory of the device via the "Load/Save"
dialog.
Parameter Meaning
IP Address Specifies the IP address under which the device management can be
accessed via the network.
Possible values:
Valid IPv4 address
(default setting: —)
Netmask Specifies the netmask.
The netmask identifies the network prefix and the host address of the
device in the IP address.
Possible values:
Valid IPv4 netmask
(default setting: —)
Gateway address Specifies the IP address of a router through which the device accesses
other devices outside its own network.
Possible values:
Valid IPv4 address

Prerequisite:
You need a BOOTP server for this
method. The BOOTP server assigns
the configuration data to the device using its MAC address.
Procedure:
Open the Basic Settings > Network dialog.
To ac
tivate the assignment of the IP parameters via a BOOTP server,
select the BOOTP value in the "Management Interface" frame.
With the BOOTP function activated the device sends a boot request
message to the BOOTP server. The server answers with a boot reply
message. The boot reply message contains the assigned IP address.
If there is no response from the BOOTP server, the device sets the IP
address to 0.0.0.0 and makes another attempt to obtain a valid IP address.
