Introduction

Note This section briefly describes when IP assignment tools are used.

Edition 04/2005

1.1

General

Introduction
Many devices feature a comprehensive range of functions for making settings and carrying out diagnosis via Ethernet. The Internet protocol is used to access these functions via the network. The Internet protocol uses a separate address mechanism that involves IP addresses. As a layer 3 protocol of the ISO/OSI reference model, the IP protocol is hardware independent, which ensures flexibility when addresses are assigned. Unlike level 2 communication (the MAC address is permanently assigned to a device and cannot be changed), you have to explicitly assign an address to a device. This address can be used to identify the device, thereby enabling communication.

Note For a list of products for which the Primary Setup Tool can be used, see the appendix.

Edition 04/2005

1.2

Structure of an IP Address

Address Classes to RFC 1340

The IP address comprises 4 bytes. Each byte is displayed in decimal notation and is separated from the previous byte by a period. Addresses are structured as follows (where XXX stands for a number between 0 and 255): XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX The IP address comprises two parts: the network address and the terminal address. This allows different subnets to be created. Depending on which IP address bytes are used as the network address and which as the terminal address, an IP address can be assigned to a particular address class:

Fig. 1-1

Structure of class A, B, and C IP addresses

Note: The part highlighted in gray represents the terminal address.

Edition 04/2005

10

Addresses with Special Functions

The value of the first byte of standard addresses cannot be between 0 and 127. Addresses that start with a value between 0 and 127 have a special function: 0.XXX.XXX.XXX This is the format used for broadcast addresses. For this reason, the address 0.0.0.0 should never be used on a device as a basic setting because it could generate broadcast currents. 127.XXX.XXX.XXX These addresses are reserved for the loopback function and should not be transmitted on the network.

Subnet Masks
The bits in the terminal address can be used to create subnets, whereby the leading bits represent the subnet address and the remaining bits are interpreted as the computer address in the subnet. A subnet is defined by the subnet mask. The subnet mask is structured in the same way as an IP address. If a bit position in the subnet mask is set to "1", the bit located at the corresponding position in the IP address belongs to the subnet address or, alternatively, the computer address.

Edition 04/2005

1.3

Initial Assignment of an IP Address

Initial Assignment
When you assign an IP address for the first time, you have the following options for assigning the address to an unconfigured device without an IP address: Primary Setup Tool V3.0 DHCP BOOTP STEP 7 NCM PC Serial interface

Changing IP Addresses
Other tools are available for changing IP addresses: Web Based Management Command Line Interface via TELNET

Since these are configuration tools, an IP address must already have been assigned.

Note This document will focus on the Primary Setup Tool V3.0, which is abbreviated to PST.

Prerequisite for Assignment

It must be possible to access unconfigured devices without an IP address via Ethernet.

Note This section contains important information and describes the most common faults and how they can be rectified.

Edition 04/2005

23

3.1

Important Notes
This section contains some important notes on avoiding errors and problems.

CP443-1EX40 V1
Modules of type CP443-1EX40 V1 always return 0.0.0.0 as router addresses, even if a different address was configured. In the Primary Setup Tool, the "Use router" option under "Ethernet interface" is always deactivated for this module type once you have browsed the network.

CP1512
When the PST is operated via a CP1512 that is connected via a PCI CardBus controller, some DLC or DCP protocols may be lost. This can result in the following: A module is not displayed in the list of nodes that have been found. In this case, browse the network again. When you are browsing the network, a message is displayed informing you that the module cannot be accessed. Confirm the message. The module is displayed in the list. Parameters can be downloaded to this module. When you are downloading the parameters to the module, a message is displayed informing you that the module cannot be accessed. In this case, check whether the parameters were successfully transferred by browsing the network. If necessary, download the parameters again.

SCALANCE X-400
To configure the SCALANCE X-400, you can access it in one of two ways via an Ethernet connection: The Ethernet interface of the switch CPU. The SCALANCE X-400 switch reports with its outband agent IP configuration. The ports on the SCALANCE X-400 slots. The SCALANCE X-400 switch reports with its inband agent IP configuration.

The client ID and DNS parameters are not supported by the SCALANCE X-400.

Edition 04/2005

24

SCALANCE W 744W788 V1.0.3

To assign addresses to a SCALANCE W 744W788 V1.0.3, you must use PST V2.0.

DLC Protocol
Windows 2000 - DLC protocol: To install the DLC protocol on Windows 2000, proceed as follows: First choose Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. Click the "Network and Dial-up Connections" icon. From the list of network cards, choose the one for which the DLC protocol is to be installed. Right-click it and choose "Properties". Choose "Install" and then "Protocol". Choose "Add" and then "DLC Protocol" under "Protocol". Confirm your entry by choosing OK.

(Note: make sure that you have your Windows CD ready because you may have to reinstall the Windows Service Pack.)

Windows XP - DLC Protocol: With Windows XP, the DLC protocol must be installed separately because it is not supplied with the operating system. The required files are located in the "DLC Protocol" sub-directory in the PST installation directory.

Proceed as follows: First choose Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. Click the "Network Connections" icon. From the list of network cards, choose the one for which the DLC protocol is to be installed. Right-click it and choose "Properties".

3.2

Support
This section explains some possible problems with the PST and how to deal with them.

The network card is not displayed in the PST

If you choose Settings -> Network Adapter and either the corresponding network is not displayed, the message "No Ethernet Adapter" is displayed, or no data at all is displayed, this could be due to the following: The corresponding network card is not inserted/installed or no network card at all is inserted/installed. The network card(s) has(have) been deactivated via the control panel or in the BIOS. Neither the DCP nor the DLC protocol are activated for the network card. The TCP/IP protocol has been deactivated for the network card.

No module found or existing module is not displayed

A broadcast service searches for the existing modules/components in the network, which then report with their MAC address. The broadcast service is terminated after 3 retries and a 10 second response time. Possible causes of problem: The existing module/component does not fulfill the requirements for communicating with PST. The DLC protocol is not installed. The network load/utilization is high. To solve this problem, choose Network -> Browse.

Module/component is not displayed after it has been loaded

Depending on the module type, it may take up to a minute for the module to respond after it has been loaded. To solve this problem, choose Network -> Browse to refresh the display of the modules/components.

Edition 04/2005

27

Message: "No station recognized in the network"

If the message above is output after you choose Network -> Browse even though modules with a default MAC address can be accessed in the network, this could be due to the following: The wrong network card was selected. One of the protocols has been deactivated for the selected card. The DLC protocol is not installed.

Message: "Supported interfaces: 4"

If the message above is output after you choose Settings -> Network Adapter, this may be because more network cards than actually exist on your PC have been registered via the control panel on your PC. You must only register the network cards that actually exist on your PC in the control panel.

Message: "Error in the subordinate driver"

If the above message is output after you choose Network -> Browse, this may be because the incorrect DCP or DLC driver version is installed. Contact the support team.

Message: "Unexpected error. Please repeat function."

If the message above is output after you choose Module -> Download, this may be due to the following: The network card you selected on your PC has been deactivated via the control panel or in the BIOS. The module that has been addressed is currently starting up.

Internet Explorer does not display the INC configuration page

When you choose Module -> Start INC Browser, the message "This page cannot be displayed" appears. This may be because none of the network cards on your PC is in the same subnet as the INC. To solve this problem, set the subnet mask for your network card to the INC subnet or use a router to connect the two subnets.
