-To establish Modbus TCP communication, identify the IP address assigned to each Portenta Machine Control device. When you connect the Portenta Machine Control to a computer using an RJ-45 cable via an Ethernet port with standard ethernet settings, it automatically obtains an IP address from the external *Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)* server. To locate these auto-assigned IP addresses, using tools like this [scanner](https://angryip.org/) can prove invaluable.

-It is also possible to assign a custom IP address with desired properties to the Portenta Machine Control using the __Ethernet.begin()__  method. This approach is handy when specific addresses need to be designated due to particular operational criteria. To achieve this, we will employ the sketch located in the `Resources` tab of the PLC IDE. An attached image offers an overview of the setup possibilities within the sketch.

 ***The __Ethernet.begin(ip, dns, gateway, subnet)__ method will delay initialization for 60 seconds if either the RJ45 cable is not connected or the Ethernet properties, like the IP address, are misconfigured. This behavior can be modified with the __Ethernet.begin(NULL, ip, dns, gateway, subnet, connection_timeout)__ method by adjusting the `connection_timeout` argument. This parameter defines the timeout for establishing a Data Layer connection.***
 
-The IP address set for the Portenta Machine Control is essential for establishing and developing in the Arduino PLC IDE environment. To pair with the Portenta Machine Control device, activate the Modbus RTU feature and select the highest secondary USB port number by navigating to `On-line -> Set up communication`.
+If opting to set the IP address for the Portenta Machine Control manually, it is also necessary to adjust the computer's Ethernet interface in the *IPv4* settings. The information input in the IPv4 configurations should correspond to the gateway settings. A stable connection to the Portenta Machine Control via the PLC IDE is pivotal for successful project execution. Below, an illustrative setup is depicted for the Windows 11 operating system:
