Hi all.
I am trying to figure out how to connect STARTER v4.1 to MM4 on a customers site.
I want to install STARTER on the customers PC, and then connect from the PC via ethernet to the 319-3PN/DP PLC, and further via the PLCs DP port to the MM4's DP module.
In other words, there is only STARTER at the customers site, no STEP7 or Simatic Net software.
I have followed a Siemens FAQ on how to setup everything.
I have figured out the part of adding a PG/PC Station to the project, and this PG/PC Station must represent the PC with STARTER.
But what I cannot figure out is how to specify the routing path in STARTER. The FAQ from Siemens seems to assume that STARTER is opened from the STEP7 project, and somehow it gets the routing information that way.
In the dialog in STARTER for making the online connection, I can specify the DP or IP for the direct connection, but nothing about routing (i.e. --> IP=192.168.1.10 // DP=6 for example).
In the help in STARTER there is zero about routing, except for this:

I am not on the customers site, and am not planning on going there, so I hope that it can be done by me making a guide for the endcustomer and our service people.The S7ONLINE selection is the key to the TIA integration. It enables communication to be established via the system network specified in the project, e.g. via PROFINET/PROFIBUS/MPI, with all directly connected drives, with connected controllers and, with the use of the S7 routing, even to the subordinate drives connected to these controllers. Prerequisite is that routing is possible to the nodes
