Transferring
Connect the LAN cable to the display unit to establish the network with the PC installed with GP-Pro EX.
Turn ON the display unit. The [Initial Start Mode] screen appears. (When using the GP4000 series, LT4000 series, or SP5000 series, the [Welcome] screen appears.)
Ethernet settings do not need to be set.
The [Initial Start Mode] screen or the [Welcome] screen is the first screen that appears after turning on the display unit immediately after purchase. After transferring a project once, this screen will not appear.
On the GP-Pro EX status bar, click the Transfer Project icon 
and launch the Transfer Tool.
Click the [Transfer Settings] button. The following dialog box appears. Ensure that [Communication Port Settings] is set to [LAN]. Select the [LAN Auto Setting] check box and click [OK].
You can also open the same dialog box from GP-Pro EX's [Project (F)] menu by selecting [Transfer Project (G)] and then [Transfer Settings (C)].
When automatic detection is not working, selecting [PASV] sometimes makes detection work.
Click [Send Project]. The [Select Display Unit] dialog box displays the IP addresses of the display units.
Select the corresponding IP Address check box and click [OK] to start transferring. When multiple IP Address check boxes are selected, the project is sent to multiple display units.
If the display unit's IP address and subnet mask have changed, data can not be retrieved.
Ensure that you update these items in the PC settings.
The following dialog box appears during transfer to check the communication status.
(The display unit changes to Transferring mode and communication with the device/PLC is suspended.)
When transfer is completed, the state of the dialog box changes from [Transferring] to [Transfer Complete].
Click [Close].
(The display unit is reset and the transferred project screen is displayed.)
Click [Close] to return to the Transfer Tool. Click [Close] again to close the Transfer Tool.
