Connection setup
at the customer's
(service call)
It is advisable to set up a direct connection between your laptop and the control (peer-to-peer).
8 Ask your customer whether you may disconnect the control from his in-house network for the
duration of your work.
8 Connect your laptop directly to the control by means of an Ethernet crossover cable.
Figure: Example of a peer-to-peer connection
8 Now either adapt the IP address and the subnet mask of your laptop to the IP address and the
subnet mask of the iTNC 530 HSCI , or vice versa.
On the following pages you will find the descriptions for requesting and adapting the Ethernet settings.
Mark your cable as "transposed" or "non-transposed"!
On modern laptops the Ethernet interface is set automatically.
Here, it is of no importance, whether the connected Ethernet cable is transposed or non-
transposed.
