Settings dialog

The Settings dialog is required for settings such as the IP address and other basic settings. It is divided into two basic settings, which are indicated by the index numbers.
Index 0xF800 contains all the settings used on system startup.
Index 0xF900 contains the actual settings that are valid while the system is running. The actual valid settings are important if basic settings are not made via the Settings dialog but have been changed via the PLC.

The IP address is a virtual IP address. In the first step it is unrelated to the IP setting of the operating system (OS). It is recommended to use a different network class than the one selected in the OS. If the IP address of the EtherNet/IP scanner is nevertheless the same as that of the OS, the value 255.255.255.255 should be set under IP address (0xF800:21). (See also Firewall recommendation)
