plc - How to set the PC/PG interface in Step7?

Question

My question is how to set the pc/pg interface in Step 7? I know the PLC's IP but it seems that the program is unavailable to find the PLC in the list of available devices. I am using TCP/IP connection so it would be ideal if I could receive some steps in configuring the interface the right way.

Double­click on "Setting PG/PC Interface" in the "Control Panel" of Windows. Set the "Access Point of Application" to "S7ONLINE." In the list "Interface parameter set used", select the required interface parameter set. If the required interface parameter set is not displayed, you must first install a module or protocol via the "Select" button. The interface parameter set is then generated automatically. On plug-and-play systems, you can not install plug and play CPs manually (CP 5611 and CP 5511). They are integrated automatically in "Setting PG/PC Interface" after you have installed the hardware in your PG/PC.
