Configuration With a BOOTP Server

If a BOOTP server is available, you can use it to configure the bridge remotely.

You will need the MAC address of the bridge. The MAC address is marked on a

label on the bridge’s rear panel. Note the address and give it to your server

system administrator.

Use the BOOTP server to associate the bridge’s MAC address with a unique IP

address and assign it to the bridge.

If you want the bridge to use a centralized mapping file for mapping TCP/IP and

Modbus Plus addresses, provide the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to the file

RTE.TXT in the root path option (option 17) of the BOOTP server.

The URL format is:

//

/

rte.txt

Examples:

//user.modicon.com

/

rte.txt

//205.167.7.0
