•you have installed and configured network access to your local area Ethernet TCP/IP network
(please contact your administrator),
•you have logged in to your operating system with administration rights,
•you have asked your network administrator for a list of free Ethernet addresses.
Furthermore, with respect to ease of installation, it is recommended that the installation sequence

3.1 PROFIBUS - Ethernet gateway
Start with the installation and connection of one PROFIBUS - Ethernet gateway. Stay with the
default address of this gateway (refer to the installation manual). The installation and configuration
process for all the gateways required is described in detail in section 3.5.
Note!
•There may be a collision with another device already connected to your Ethernet. In this
case you must temporarily remove or reconfigure the device that has the same IP address as
the PROFIbus/Ethernet gateway. After you have configured all PROFIBUS/Ethernet gateways
to their dedicated IP addresses (refer to 3.5) you can reinstall or reconfigure the offending
device with its previous IP address.
