6.6 Fast introductionAt the first commissioning respectively after an overall reset with PowerON again of theCPU, the Ethernet PG/OP channel has no IP address. This can only be reached by itsMAC address. By means of the MAC address, which is printed at the front as ‘MAC PG/OP:...’ , you can assign IP address data. The assignment takes place directly via thehardware configuration of the Siemens SIMATIC Manager.For the configuration of the Ethernet PG/OP channel for productive connections pleasefollow the following approach:n Hardware configuration - CPUn Hardware configuration - Ethernet PG/OP channeln Configure connections– Siemens S7 connections(Configuration via Siemens NetPro, communication via VIPA handling blocks)– Open communication(Configuration and communication happens by standard handling blocks)n Transfer of the complete project to CPU6.7 Hardware configurationAt the first commissioning respectively after an overall reset with PowerON again of theCPU, the Ethernet PG/OP channel has no IP address.
