17.3.4
Define parameters of TCP/IP communication with a control
Background
To be able to read or transfer license information to or from the MCI board of a control
system, the Automation License Manager must communicate with the control system via
TCP/IP.
Requirements:
●
HMI basic software is installed
●
SINUMERIK-specific plug-ins are enabled
Note
If the SINUMERIK user interface "HMI Advanced" is installed on the same computer
(PC/PG) as the Automation License Manager you can set the IP address using the user
interface.
The IP address for the control system with which both HMI Advanced as well as the
Automation License Manager communicate is set via the following dialog:
Operating area switchover > Startup > HMI > NCU link
This requires at least the password of protection level 2 (manufacturer) to be set.
General communication parameters
The default general communication parameters for the HMI basic software are stored in the
following initialization file:
<installation drive>:\Siemens\Sinumerik\HMI-Advanced\mmc2\MMC.INI
