on the iTNC 530
On the single-processor control, the Ethernet interface is managed by the HEIDENHAIN
operating system HeROS. The settings of the Ethernet interface can be interrogated via the
code number NET123.
With the dual-processor control, the Ethernet interface is managed by Windows. The settings of
the Ethernet interface can, for example, be interrogated with the command ipconfig in the
prompt.

It is advisable to set up a direct connection between your service 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 a crossed Ethernet cable.
Figure: Example for peer-to-peer connection
Mark your cable as "crossed" or "non-crossed"!
On modern laptops the Ethernet interface is set automatically.
Here, it is of no importance, whether the connected Ethernet cable is crossed or non-
crossed.
