Add Network Addresses

Name

The name of the computer at the network address being configured. The name needs to be unique to the project and not contain spaces.

Address

The IP address or name of the computer or network card being configured.

"Localhost" or a fully qualified domain name (the complete domain name for a computer) are not supported.

In most cases, the IP address will use a standard IPv4 format. For example, 192.1.2.34.

If your Plant SCADA system is running on an IPv6 network, you will need to enter a 128 bit IPv6 address (or any acceptable abbreviation). For example:

2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0123:1234.

Or:

2001:db8::8a2e:123:1234 (abbreviated).

Note: A link-local IPv6 address should not have a zone index appended to the address. For example, from the IPv6 address "2001:db8::8a2e:123:1234%12" exclude the zone index "%12" and use "2001:db8::8a2e:123:1234" in the Address field.

For computers with dual network cards, add a network address for each card in each computer with which you want to communicate. See Network Redundancy for more information.

Note: If your computer has multiple network adapters configured in Windows that are connected to the same subnet, then we recommend you configure the address field with a computer name rather than an IP address.

Comment

Any useful comment. This property is optional and is not used at runtime.

Computer

Project

Name of the project in which the network address is defined.
