Assigning parameters to the TCP/IP communication with a control system

Background
To be able to read or transfer license information from or to the CF card of a control system,
the Automation License Manager must communicate with the control system via TCP/IP.
Requirements:
• The HMI basic software is installed
• The SINUMERIK plug-in is enabled
Note
HMI Advanced
If the SINUMERIK user interface "HMI Advanced" is installed on the same computer
(PC/PG) as the Automation License Manager you can set the IP address using the user
interface. The IP address for the control system with which both HMI Advanced as well as
the Automation License Manager communicate is set via the following dialog:
Operating area switchover > Start-up > HMI > NCU link
This requires at least the password of protection level 2 (manufacturer) to be set.
General communication parameters
The default general communication parameters for the HMI basic software are stored in the
following initialization file:
<installation drive>:\Siemens\Sinumerik\HMI-Advanced\mmc2\MMC.INI
User-specific communication parameters
The user-specific communication parameters for the HMI basic software are stored in the
following initialization file:
<installation drive>:\Siemens\Sinumerik\HMI-Advanced\user\MMC.INI
During evaluation of the initialization data when booting the HMI basic software, user-specific
communication parameters have priority over general communication parameters.
Sections of the initialization file: MMC.INI
The parameters relevant to TCP/IP communication with SINUMERIK control systems are
stored in the following sections:
• [ GLOBAL ]
