Setting up an Ethernet connection and IP address configuration with the HMI controllers is accomplished with Vijeo-Designer Property Inspector > Download > Ethernet.
There are two ways to assign the IP address of the controller with Vijeo-Designer:
oDHCP server
oFixed IP address
The Ethernet configuration parameters are applied after a download of the HMI application.
For more information on how to configure the Ethernet connection between the computer and the HMI SCU controller, refer to Vijeo-Designer online help.
NOTE: If the above addressing modes are not operational, the HMI SCU controller starts with a default IP address derived from its MAC address.
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.

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: Verify that your system administrator maintains a record of all assigned IP addresses on the network and subnetwork, and inform the system administrator of all configuration changes performed.
The default IP address is based on MAC address of the device. The first two bytes are 10 and 10. The last two bytes are the last two bytes of the MAC address of the device.
The default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
NOTE: A MAC address has an hexadecimal format and an IP address has a decimal format. Convert the MAC address into decimal format.
Example: If the MAC address is 00.80.F4.01.80.F2, the default IP address is 10.10.128.242.
