Hi,
I have got an S7-1212 to play with. I have used TIA Portal on a few occasions but only with devices which have already been configured.
I am having trouble connecting for the first time, looking on the accessible devices I can find both my PLC and HMI but they only have a MAC address assigned, no IP. I also cannot ping either device, assuming this is because the IP address shown on TIA is not yet assigned to each device.
I have my laptop connected to an unmanaged ethernet switch and then both Siemens devices connected into that switch.
Am I missing a step to assign the IP addresses?
Thanks,
