3.3 Network design
The IP address of the network is typically specified by a network administra-
tor. At initial startup of the control with u-create studio the IP addresses of
the devices are not attuned with each other. The network settings of the PC
or the controls therefore must be adjusted.
The communication connection between PC and control can either take
place through a direct connection via an Ethernet cable between the Ether-
net interface of the PC and the On-board-Ethernet of the control or via a
switch.
If a DHCP server exists on the network, the network address can be ob-
tained automatically. If no DHCP server exists, or if there is a direct connec-
tion between the control and the PC, a static network address must be used.
Information
The control and tools do not support NAT (Network Address Translation).
This limitation must be taken into consideration, especially when operating
via a VPN tunnel or through a firewall!
If a firewall is used in the system, port 1740 must be open for UDP traffic
(incoming as well as outgoing). Otherwise a connection to the control will
be impossible.
Please contact your network administrator for questions concerning the net-
work operation.
The PC in the network can only communicate with the control. Communica-
tion with additional components of the system is not possible in this network
structure.
The IP addresses can be defined when creating a target system ("Create
Target"). The following values are preset by default.
Name Address
Control (X1): 192.168.101.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.101.x
u-view Panel: 192.168.101.x
USB interface: 192.168.227.1
Information
If more panels are used different IP addresses must be set for them.
