The IP configuration tool can be used
-
to set or change the IP address of devices.
-
to scan the network for available hardware devices.
-
to update the firmware of devices.

The IP configuration tool is part of Automation Builder and can be called via “Tools IP-Configuration”.
Further the IP configuration tool can be used stand-alone without an Automation Builder application running. The stand-alone variant requires a separate installation via the Installation Manager ⮫ “Stand-alone installation”.
After the installation, the IP configuration tool is started via .exe file / desktop icon.
Some functionality is only supported if the IP configuration tool is used stand-alone, e.g. for firmware updates for communication interface devices.
