Carry Out Communication Settings
Changes the communication parameters IP (Internet protocol) address, subnet mask, and gateway of the controller. The controller is assigned via the MAC address.
NOTE: The communication can only take place if it was permitted in the project parameters. By default, the communication is enabled.

Call Parameters |
Content |
|---|---|
|
<ToolPath> |
Path of the tool to be executed that supports the Network Device Identification command-line call, see example underneath this table. |
|
<MacAddress> |
MAC address of the desired controller |
|
<IpAddress> |
New IP address of the controller . |
|
<Subnet-Mask> |
New subnet mask of the controller |
|
<Gateway> |
New gateway of the controller. |
|
<SetPermanently> |
TRUE: The modification of the communication settings is saved. The new settings are also used after a reset. FALSE: The modification of the communication settings is not saved. The new settings are not used after a reset. |
Carefully manage the IP addresses because each device on the network requires a unique address. Having multiple devices with the same IP address can cause unintended operation of your network and associated equipment.

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION |

oVerify that there is only one master controller configured on the network or remote link. oVerify that all devices have unique addresses. oObtain your IP address from your system administrator. oConfirm that the IP address of the device is unique before placing the system into service. oDo not assign the same IP address to any other equipment on the network. oUpdate the IP address after cloning any application that includes Ethernet communications to a unique address. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
NOTE: Most controllers provide a parameter (such as RemoteAccess) that helps to prevent changing of communication parameters of the controller.
Entry
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\Tools\Diagnostics\Diagnostics.exe" -NetmanageCommand SetCommunicationSettings 00:04:17:05:00:78 192.168.2.21 255.255.0.0 192.168.2.50 true
By a successful processing of the call 0, otherwise 1.
NOTE: The command is sent asynchronously without waiting for a result. The result 0 means that the command has been sent successfully. In order to verify the result, call the command CreateControllerList after a few seconds (depending on the controller) and verify the result.
