The PROmesh P9+ switches are equipped with a modern web interface that may be configured comfortably
from any web browser.
3.1 Preparations
Install the PROmesh P9+ switch on the network before using web management and ensure that the PC
designated to configure the switches can access the switch through the web browser. The PROmesh P9+
and the client PC to be connected must be in the same IP address range and IP subnet. You must assign
an PROmesh P9+ IP address at first use for this.
The following IP address, subnet mask, administrator username, and administrator password are set when
the device is shipped from the factory:
IP address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Username: admin
Password: admin
Make sure to change the factory-set password when logging in for the first time. You are
responsible for documenting this password and protecting it from unauthorised
access.
You can easily set your intended user addresses with the Indu-Sol ServiceTool. This is part of the scope
of delivery or can be downloaded for free via the following link:
https://sdx.indu-sol.com/s/CtYtsHNW73Z3KCa
Our software is updated regularly. Please ensure that you have the latest version.
Establish a network connection from your computer to a port of the switch and scan the system with the
search setting PROFINET device after installing and opening the software. You can then make the
appropriate entries in the input mask and save them.
The corresponding address settings are then made automatically this way if you include the switch in a
PROFINET system in the hardware configuration of the controller.
A user access with lower authorizations and adapted menu navigation is available as an alternative to the
administrator access. The user has no access to the Switching, PROFINET and redundancy functions or
their sub-items. The submenus for system configuration are also restricted. The access data for this are:
Username: user
Password: user

installation location, and the IP address are displayed. The current user is displayed under the logout button
at the right end of the bar. You can log out by pushing the button. The help button displays notes and
explanations for the individual pages.
The port statistics provide an overall view of the state of the existing ports since the switch was started or
reset (history) and within the last minute (current). You can choose between two views. In the Overview
view:
Current partners
Transmission speed
Diagnostic messages
are displayed. In the Details view, the parameters of the overview and:
Mains load per s
Discards
Errors
Line quality value
are displayed.
The number of messages that have occurred is displayed in the message window. Clicking on the alarm
bell will automatically call up the entries in the message list. The messages as well as the counter status of
the ports can be deleted with the corresponding buttons.
The leakage current overview shows the current value between the RJ45 ports and the device’s top-hat
rail. It is possible to switch between the display of the peak value (peak) and the effective value (RMS) or
this. This information makes interference currents visible at an early stage, which can lead to direct
communication disturbances.
The top-hat rail must have been grounded properly in order to measure the leakage current
correctly.
