connexion with MAC adress

Hello, 

I'm trying to connect to my PLC 1214C, but I don't manage to find the IP adress back (it was used in previous project). I tried all the common IP range that we use but witouth success. 

Is it possible to connect the PLC directly with the MAC adress? 

best regards

hi,

you can search for accessible devices. this is a MAC-address-broadcast.

hope this helps,

regards,

thanks for this information, but this doesn't seems to help. No available connexions are found. 

how are you connected with the CPU?

direct or over router or something?

I'm connected directly to the CPU, I tried with another CPU that was resetted to factory settings, and don't see it neither on the available devices.

I looked a little bit around, and it looks like more a problem with the Ethernet connexion and tia portal than with the cpu itself.
