Operating Instructions SCALANCE W 744-1PRO

C79000-G8976-C185-03

Configuration with the Primary Setup Tool

4.1 Introduction

Initial Assignment of an IP Address

An initial IP address for the SCALANCE W744 cannot be assigned using Web Ba-

sed Management or the Command Line Interface because these configuration

tools require that an IP address already exists.

The initial IP address can be obtained only over DHCP or assigned using the Pri-

mary Setup Tool. The Primary Setup Tool is capable of assigning such an address

to unconfigured devices without an IP address. The only condition is that the de-

vices can be reached over Ethernet.

Operating Systems Supported

The Primary Setup Tool can be installed and used with the following operating sys-

tems:

● Windows XP Professional

● Windows 2000 Professional SP2

DLC Protocol

The Primary Setup Tool uses the DLC protocol for communication with the mod-

ules. This protocol is not supplied with Windows XP and must be installed extra for

this operating system.

Follow the steps below to check whether or not the DLC protocol exists on your

computer:

1. Select the menu command Start > Settings > Control Panel >Network and Di-

al-Up Connections.

2. Select the connection to your Ethernet communication module.
