About this Manual
The “Basic Configuration” user manual contains the information you need to
start operating the device. It takes you step by step from the first startup
operation through to the basic settings for operation in your environment.
The following thematic sequence has proven itself in practice:
XSet up device access for operation by entering the IP parameters
XCheck the status of the software and update it if necessary
XIf a configuration already exists, load/store it
XConfigure the ports
XSet up protection from unauthorized access
XOptimize the data transmission with network load control
XSynchronize system time in the network
XFunction diagnosis
XStore the newly created configuration to nonvolatile memory
The “Installation” user manual contains a device description, safety
instructions, a description of the display, and the other information that you
need to install the device.
The “Redundancy Configuration” user manual contains the information you
need to select a suitable redundancy procedure and configure that
procedure.
The “Industry Protocols” user manual describes how the device is connected
by means of a communication protocol commonly used in the industry, such
as EtherNet/IP and PROFINET IO.
The "Web-based Interface" reference manual contains detailed information
on using the Web interface to operate the individual functions of the device.

Introduction
Basic Configuration
Release 6.0 07/2010 13
Introduction
The device has been developed for practical application in a harsh industrial
environment. Accordingly, the installation process has been kept simple.
Thanks to the selected default settings, you only have to enter a few settings
before starting to operate the device.
Note: The changes you make in the dialogs are copied into the volatile
memory of the device when you click on "Set".
To save the changes into the permanent memory of the device select the
non-volatile memory location in the Basic Settings:Load/Save dialog
and click "Save".

1.1 System Monitor
The system monitor enables you to
Xselect the software to be loaded
Xperform a software update
Xstart the selected software
Xshut down the system monitor
Xdelete the configuration saved and
Xdisplay the boot code information.
Opening the system monitor
Use the terminal cable (see accessories) to connect
– the V.24 socket (RJ11) to
– a terminal or a COM port of a PC with terminal emulation based on
VT100
(for the physical connection, see the "Installation" user manual).
Start the terminal program on the PC and set up a connection with the
device.
When you boot the device, the message
"Press <1> to enter System Monitor 1"
appears on the terminal.

1.2 Command Line Interface
Basic Configuration
Release 6.0 07/2010
1.2 Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface enables you to use the functions of the device
via a local or remote connection.
The Command Line Interface provides IT specialists with a familiar
environment for configuring IT devices.
The script compatibility of the Command Line Interface enables you, among
other things, to feed multiple devices with the same configuration data, to
create and apply partial configurations or to compare 2 configuration by
comparing the script files.
You will find a detailed description of the Command Line Interface in the
"Command Line Interface" reference manual.
You can access the Command Line Interface via
Xthe V.24 port (out-of-band)
XTelnet (in-band)
XSSH (in-band)
Note: To facilitate making entries, CLI gives you the option of abbreviating
keywords. Type in the beginning of a keyword. When you press the tab key,
CLI completes the keyword.
Opening the Command Line Interface
Connect the device to a terminal or to the COM port of a PC using
terminal emulation based on VT100 and press any key (see on
page 16 “Opening the system monitor“) or
call up the Command Line Interface via Telnet.
A window for entering the user name appears on the screen.
Up to five users can access the Command Line Interface.
