34.3.3 Transfer
- Transferring Projects Using the Factory Set IP Address
The default IP address of the display unit is set at the
factory. When transferring with this IP address, change the IP
address used by the PC to which you are transferring data.
Do not use the factory-set IP address when a
private address "10.***.***.***" is used on the same network. A
network communication error may occur.
Modify the PC's IP address subnet mask.
Set the IP address within the range of "10.255.255.1" to
"10.255.255.254" and the subnet mask to "255.0.0.0".
You may have to restart the PC before the
settings take effect.
Connect the LAN cable to the display unit to
establish the network with the PC installed with GP-Pro EX.
Turn ON the display unit. [Initial Start Mode] screen
appears.
Ethernet settings do not need to be set.
Once a project has been transferred, the next
time you transfer a project, the [Initial Start Mode] screen does
not appear.

dialog box displays the IP addresses of the display units. The
[Select Display Unit] dialog box displays the IP addresses of the
GPs available on the network. The transfer begins. When multiple IP
addresses are checked, the project is sent to multiple display
units at once.
If the display unit's IP address and subnet
mask have changed, data can not be retrieved.
Ensure that you update these items in the PC settings.
The following dialog box appears during transfer to
check the communication status.
