Problem with uploading a soft from HMI Weintek MT8071iE

If that is the screens Ip address you must change your pc to be on the same range. Change pc ip to 192.168.99 for instance

If you're connecting directly to the hmi you need a crossover cable

I'm trying to upload a program from the aforementioned HMI but I've failed so far.

I have an EasyBuilder pro and using Ethernet cable. From the menu on the screen I found out the IP address but I keep getting message that either IP or Password or port is wrong. I'm using the default password 111111 which should be the correct one. I tried port numbers 8000 and 20248.

I also changed the system setting of my laptop (TCP) to the same IP.

I read somewhere that someone used a crossover cable but it seems strange to me because that kind of cable should be for peer to peer communication..

Someone also mentioned that the PC should be set up to access the subnet that the HMI is in but I'm not sure how to do it..

I can't even find the screen in an Advanced IP Scanner or Angry IP Scanner..

Any tip appreciated it.

• Find out for sure what the IP address of the HMI is. I use Wireshark but there are many utilities that do the same.
• Go the Ethernet properties of your network connection then go to properties of "Internet Protocol Version (TCP/IPv4)" and select u"Ue the following IP address" and enter and IP address in the same range as the HMI and press the Tab key on your keyboard, the subnet mask will automatically be filled for you, leave it the way it s and click OK on the dialog box.
• Start Easybuilder as describe in this thread, create new project, select your HMI and choose upload.
