– Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Once DHCP has been enabled, the switch attempts to apply network parameters from
a DHCP server. The setting, regardless of whether DHCP is enabled or not, is saved
permanently.
– Discovery and Configuration Protocol (DCP)
Mode for assigning IP addresses in PROFINET. After startup, the switch waits for the
startup of the IO controller or an engineering tool. This status is indicated by display
output "dP". The switch can only be accessed after configuration using the assigned
IP address. The assigned IP address is not saved permanently, which means that the
switch waits to be assigned an address every time the device starts. DCP is activated
automatically if "Profinet" mode is selected.
"System Identification" Menu
This menu is used to display or modify user-specific device data, e.g., location, device
name or function. This device data is also available in SNMP.
Figure 4-16 "System Identification" menu
Once DHCP has been enabled, the display contains "01" and waits for IP parameters
from a DHCP server. As long as no IP parameters have been assigned by a DHCP
server, the switch can still be accessed via the previously set IP parameters.
If the MMS has established a PROFINET connection, a dot appears in the bottom-right
corner of the display.
