Introduction:
The “Search and Change IP” option is compatible with cMT and cMT-X HMIs that do not have an external display like the cMT-SVR-100. This function can be found within various tools in the Utility Manager and will allow you find an HMI on your network and configure its IP even if your PC is not currently on the same IP subnet as the HMI.
