Configure a dynamic network

Configure a dynamic network by adding a system object and configuring its parameters.
  1. Create a system object instance:
    1. In
      Type view
      , double-click
      System
      .
    2. Drag
      System
       from
      Type view
       to
      Model
       in
      Project view
      .
      At runtime,
      FactoryTalk Optix Studio
       creates an object for each network interface (wired) detected on the machine.
  2. (Optional) To define network interfaces at design-time:
    1. In
      Properties
      , set
      InterfaceName
       to
      LAN
       or
      WAN
      .
      NOTE: Performing this step is necessary if you want to make dynamic connections on the network parameters through
      FactoryTalk Optix Studio
      .
    2. Set other relevant properties of the network interface object.
    At runtime, the configured NetworkInterface object initializes.
