To configure the PLX8x-EIP-61850 gateway, follow these topics in the same
order as they appear in this chapter.
The reason you import the IEDs before you configure the EtherNet/IP device is
that the ProSoft 61850 Configuration Manager takes steps to assist with the
EtherNet/IP configuration after you set up the IEDs in the EIP-61850
Configuration Manager.
2.1 Connecting Your PC to the Gateway
You can use the Ethernet cable included with the gateway to connect your PC to
the gateway
’s Ethernet port. If your gateways has two Ethernet ports, refer to
sections 2.2 through 2.6. Later, you can connect the gateway to a switch, through
a patch cable, allowing the IEDs, gateway, and ControlLogix PAC, or
CompactLogix PAC to all operate on the same network.
Once connected, you use the ProSoft Discovery Service to locate the gateway
and assign a temporary IP address (refer to Setting a Temporary IP Address in
the Gateway on page 16). You can set a permanent IP address when you
configure the module (refer to Configuring the Gateway EtherNet/IP Adapter on
page 19).
