Ethernet communication (e.g. for commissioning) with CC100/EdgeController/PFC300 via the USB-interface requires NDIS/RNDIS-functionality on the PC. In order for the PC (at least for some PC types) to correctly detect a connected Wago-PLC it is necessary to use a USB-A-to-C cable (USB-A on the PC side, USB-C on the Wago-PLC side), alternatively use a pure USB-C-to-C cable combined with a USB-C-to-A adapter on the PC side. The result should be that a corresponding ethernet-adapter gets successfully instansiated by the PC, such that it is possible to access the Wago-PLC via IP-address 192.168.42.42.
