Overview
The setup consists of two parts:
- Configure the Windows PC to host a shared folder
- Configure the SINUMERIK ONE to map that folder as a logical drive
Both steps are required for file transfer.
Program execution from the network requires an additional license.
Part 1 — Configure the Windows PC
Step 1 — Verify Network Configuration
- Connect the PC to the same network as the SINUMERIK ONE
- Assign a static IP address if required
- Ensure Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is enabled on the Ethernet adapter.
- Open Settings
Navigate to Network & Internet
Select Advanced network settings
Under More adapter options, select Edit
The Network Connections window will open
Right-click Ethernet → Properties
Step B — Set a Static IPv4 Address
Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Click Properties
Select Use the following IP address
Enter:
IP Address: 192.168.100.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Click OK
Close all network windows
Step 2 — Enable Windows File Sharing (SMB)

- Password
- Password for the Windows user account

Step 5 — Enable Program Execution From Network (Optional)
License Required — MEM-EXTERNAL (P75), Siemens P/N 6FC5800-0BP75-0YB0
