Setting the IP address

DHCP is enabled by default for the CX7080. Without a DHCP server, the CX7080 uses a local IP address in the address range 169.254.x.x

In the case of the CX7080 Embedded PC, there are several ways to set the IP address. One way is to call the Beckhoff Device Manager and set the IP address for the CX7080 in the browser (see: Starting the Beckhoff Device Manager).

Another way to set the IP address is offered by the boot.conf file, which is created on the MicroSD card after the first start. This step shows you how to set the IP address in the boot.conf file.

Requirements:

MicroSD card reader

Proceed as follows:

1. Switch the Embedded PC off and remove the MicroSD card from the Embedded PC.

2. Open the Boot.conf file under \etc
Setting the IP address 1:

3. Set the DhcpEnabled entry to false.

4. Assign an IP address under IPv4.

5. Make the settings for subnet mask, gateway and DNS server.

Save the changes and install the MicroSD card in the Embedded PC again. The settings are effective after startup.
