2 External Device Selection
Select the External Device to be connected to the Display.
Setup Items Setup Description
Number of Devices/PLCs Use an integer from 1 to 4 to enter the number of Devices/PLCs to connect to the
display.
Manufacturer Select the manufacturer of the External Device to be connected. Select "Siemens
AG".
Series
Select a model (series) of the External Device to be connected and connection
method. Select "Ethernet Gateway for SIMATIC MPI/PROFIBUS".
Check the External Device which can be connected in "Ethernet Gateway for
SIMATIC MPI/PROFIBUS" in system configuration.
"1 System Configuration" (page 3)
Port Select the Display port to be connected to the External Device. Select "Ethernet
(TCP)".
Use System Area
Check this option to synchronize the system data area of the Display and the device
(memory) of the External Device. When synchronized, you can use the External
Device’s ladder program to switch the display or display the window on the Display.
Cf. GP-Pro EX Reference Manual "LS Area (Direct Access Method
Area)"
This feature can also be set in GP-Pro EX or in the Display's offline mode.

Device Setting
To display the [Individual Device Settings] dialog box, from [Device-Specific Settings] in the [Device/PLC]
window, select the external device and click [Settings] .
To connect multiple External Devices, from [Device-Specific Settings] in the [Device/PLC] window, click [Add
Device] to add another External Device.
External Device Settings
Use the Web Browser to access the Adapter for communication setting. Please refer to the manual of the Adapter
for more details.
1The home page, which is located at ‘http://<ip-address>’, is a basic address and navigation starting point for the
user.
2The configuration page, accessible via a link on the home page, is a configuration interface for the user. 
Before this page opens, it is necessary to enter the device name as Username (NETLink PRO) and the password
(admin if no user specified password is stored). The default password is ‘admin’.
3Enter the following settings and click [OK].
If you click the [OK] button, the inputs are checked for plausibility. You may then be shown which inputs are
incorrect and what correct input would look like at this point.
4If all entries are consistent, the changes are displayed again as they will now be stored in the adapter when you
click the 'OK' button again.
After the new parameters have been stored, the adapter is restarted to activate the new configuration.
