Once the SIMATIC NET is installed, your first step is to create a database of

devices and the connection names you want to use.
To create the database
[1] Start the COML S7 application:
[a] Select Simatic. A context menu appears.
[b] Select SIMATIC NET. A context menu appears.
[c] Select COML S7. The application’s startup screen appears.
[2] Click OK to proceed to the next screen.
[3] From the Network Type field, select Ethernet if you are configuring an
Industrial Ethernet network. Select TCP/IP if you are using a TCP/IP
connection.
[4] Complete the fields on the right side of the screen and click the Insert button to
add the definition to your list box on the left. Consult your Siemens
documentation for details on how to complete each field and what these fields
are used for.
