Well, you obviously have a project and you were able to generate a new CF card. Good start. To establish a connection:
- Connect your laptop to the PP directly using an Ethernet cable.
- In the project, set the IP address manually (e.g., 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0) and activate the SNMP parameters.
- On the Ethernet adapter of your laptop, set the IP address manually from the same range as you used for the PP (e.g., 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0).
- Build the project in AS, and generate the CF card again.
- Plug the CF card into the PP and power it on.
- Using the Windows command line on your laptop, try to ping the PP (in our case,
ping 192.168.0.1). If you get a response, you can connect from Automation Studio.
