Adjusting the network settings
To enable communication between the central unit and the Windows PC:
왘 Make sure that the network communication between the central unit and the
Windows PC is not blocked by a proxy server and/or a firewall.
Ports 53248, 53249, 53250, 53251, 53252 are used for communication and
port 21 is used for FTP transfer.
왘 Ask your system administrator if a static IP address with a default gateway is
to be used or if the IP address is to be assigned dynamically.
If you have to use a static IP address with a default gateway, ask for the static IP
address, the subnet mask and the IP address of the default gateway.
왘 Use the information provided by your system administrator to adjust the net-
work settings of your central unit. (Proceed as described under in the Sys-
tem instruction manual (Windows XP, see „Configuring the network settings
on a PC running Windows XP“; Windows Vista, see „Configuring the network
settings on a PC running Windows Vista“; Windows 7, see „Configuring the net-
work settings on a PC running Windows 7“; Windows 8, see „Configuring the
network settings on a PC running Windows 8“).
If you have to make the decision whether to use static or dynamic IP addressing,
proceed as follows:
Configuring the network settings on a PC running Windows XP
왘 Click “Start” and then select “Control Panel”.
The “Control Panel” window appears.
왘 Double click “Network and Internet Connections”.
The “Network and Internet connections” window appears.

If the central unit is directly connected to a Windows PC, we recommend
dynamic IP address assignment. Depending on your operating system, con-
figure the network settings of the PC and adjust the central unit as
described under (Windows XP, see „Configuring the network settings on
a PC running Windows XP“; Windows Vista, see „Configuring the network
settings on a PC running Windows Vista“; Windows 7, see „Configuring the
network settings on a PC running Windows 7“; Windows 8, see „Configur-
ing the network settings on a PC running Windows 8“).
The devices automatically detect whether IP address assignment is via
DHCP or Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf). This process can take
several minutes.

왘 Click “Network Connections” in the right column.
The “Network Connections” window appears.
왘 Double-click “Local Area Connection”.
The “Local Area Connection Status” window appears.

The “Local Area Connection Properties” window appears.
왘 In the “This connection uses the following items” box, scroll to the bottom.
왘 Double-click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”.
The “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” window appears.
Here you can see whether the Windows PC is assigned a dynamic IP address or
a static IP address in the network. Adjust your central unit as follows:
Dynamic IP address
The Windows PC is assigned a dynamic IP address in the network.
Settings to be adjusted via the central unit (see „Adjusting further settings – Set-
tings” in the System instruction manual):
왘 On the central unit, call up the “IP Mode” menu item.
왘 Select “Dynamic IP”.
The central unit is automatically integrated in the network and no further steps
have to be taken.

Static IP address
The Windows PC is assigned a static IP address with a default gateway in the
network.
Settings to be adjusted via the central unit (see „Adjusting further settings – Set-
tings” in the System instruction manual):
왘 On the central unit, call up the “IP Mode” menu item.
왘 Select “Static IP”.
왘 Determine the network part of the IP address of the Windows PC, the subnet
mask and the default gateway and note them down:
In this example, the network part is “192.168.1”.
왘 On the central unit, call up the “IP-Address” menu item.
왘 Set the network part of the IP address to the value retrieved from your Win-
dows PC.
왘 Set the device part (the last three digits) of the IP address to a value (“1” -
“254”) that is neither used by your PC nor by another computer in your net-
work (in this example, the device part must not be “145”).
왘 On the central unit, call up the “Subnet mask” menu item.
왘 Set the subnet mask (in this example “255.255.255.0”).
왘 On the central unit, call up the “Gateway” menu item.
왘 Set the IP address of the default gateway (in this example “192.168.1.1”).
The network connection is established via a static IP address.
