Hi,
i am in the progress of familiarising myself with my new 315-2PN/DP. It is going extremely well, almost too well.
Siemens manuals explain how to configure a programming PC in NetPro in order to be able to go online via Ethernet. So far so good.
But I find that if I change the PCs IP address to one that is NOT configured in NetPro, then I can STILL go online via Ethernet. It shouldnt be possible.
Its not a big problem, but it shatters my understanding on how the online connections work with S7.
Can anyone shed a bit of light on this ?
