Downloading your first project
First, connect a +24 VDC power supply to the HMI. Refer to the Silver Series Installation Guide for more information.
In order to download your project, you must first connect the HMI to your computer. There are two methods of
downloading to the HMI, Ethernet or USB, depending on your model.

Ethernet
It is necessary to determine the IP Address of the HMI. By default, the HMI is configured to get a dynamic IP address
from a DHCP server. This setting can be changed, To determine or change the HMI’s IP address:
1. Plug a USB mouse into the HMI.
2. Connect the HMI to your computer using an Ethernet crossover cable (7431-0104).
3. Move the mouse pointer to the lower right corner of the HMI screen. A menu bar will appear. Click the
wrench icon on the menu bar.
4. On the Network tab of the System Settings dialog, the HMI’s IP address will be shown. If set for Auto Get IP
Address, the HMI’s current IP setup information is displayed but is not changeable. To change the IP address,
select IP Address Get From Below and enter the data.
5. Once the IP Address has been established, the project can be downloaded. Select Tools > Download from
EasyBuilder’s menu (or click the Download icon).
6. Enter the HMI’s IP address and Download password. The default download password is 111111. The default
IP address is 192.168.0.201, Subnet 255.255.255.0, Gateway (none).
7. Make sure that the Ethernet, Firmware, and Reboot HMI After Download boxes are checked.
8. Click the Download button. If the HMI is properly connected to the PC, the status box on the download
dialog will update with messages indicating the progress of the transfer. The HMI itself will also display
messages reflecting its status.
9. When the download is complete, the HMI will restart and will begin running your project. Click the Exit
button on the Download dialog.
USB
1. Make sure the USB driver has been installed on your computer. See the Help menu “How Do I…Install the
Maple Systems USB Driver” for more information.
2. Connect the HMI to your computer using the USB configuration cable (PN 7431-0115).
