How can a direct connection from the PC to the variTRON be established?

Especially during commissioning, it often happens that you want to connect a laptop directly to the variTRON in order to be able to make changes to the variTRON.

All you need is a network cable, a network interface on the laptop and the right to change the network settings on the laptop.

In the settings for the Ethernet connection, the Change adapter options must be selected.

Select the Ethernet connection with the right mouse and select in the context menu under the menu item Properties.

Select Internetprotokoll IPv4 and click on Properties.
