AS_OS Posts: 20 Rating: (0)	Hi All, I need to assign I.P. address to a Scalance, I tried to browse the Scalance (in STEP 7 Edit Ethernet node) with the help of MAC address however I am unable to browse the same even though i am directly connected to scalance through ethernet cable. This scalance is live in network with Fibre & ethernet connections in. I have another query regarding MAC addressing, my understanding is that a MAC addressof Scalance is for that device and there will not be different MAC addresses for individual ports of the scalance. Am i right in saying so? Cheers, a

Only the manageable versions have an address (X200 and above). The MAC address that should react to device detection is the one printed on the device. Is the MAC used by the so called "Agent" in the device. When you use "edit ethernet node", do you detect all other devices except the Scalance Or no devices at all? Could be an indication where to search further. If you are unsuccessful with "edit Ethernet node", you could try the tool that is delivered with Scalance X itself, the primary setup tool. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19440762 Node detection uses a protocol DCP, that you can disable by configuration in the switch or even in Step7. Extra note: When you say that a device has only one MAC, this is not true. For toplogy detection, each port uses a port specific MAC address (used by LLDP). But you will hardly detect thisaddress because it is only used between neighbour ports. And is not needed to set the IP address of the agent.

AS_OS Posts: 20 Rating: (0)	Hi jklm, Thanks for the reply. I could browse some of the nodes but not all of them. When you say that port uses MAC addreses, is it possible to get an error for duplicate MAC address in a network which got multiple Scalances & MAC devices like CP1613, Profinet CPUs etc? Cheers, A

Which eliminates MAC address conflicts. A conflict is only possible for devices where you can set the MAC address by configuration. An example could be Simatic Net CPs using ISO protocol and where it is possible to override the factory MAC address by a configured MAC address. As I told previously, device detection is based on DCP. Unmanaged devices, devices where DCP is not implementedn or is deactivated will not answer.
