Chapter 3 Configuring the Adapter
Using a BOOTP or DHCP
Server By default, the adapter is configured to accept an IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address from a DHCP server. You can select from a variety of DHCP/
BOOTP utilities.
The instructions below use the DHCP/BOOTP Utility (version 2.3 or greater),
a free stand-alone program from Rockwell Automation that incorporates the
functionality of standard DHCP/BOOTP utilities with a graphical interface. It
is available from
http://www.ab.com/networks/ethernet/bootp.html . See the
Readme file and online Help for directions and more information.
Configuring the Adapter Using a DHCP/BOOTP Utility
1. Depending on the type of server (BOOTP or DHCP) being used, set
Device parameter 04 [Net Addr Sel] to either 2 “BOOTP” or 3 “DHCP”
respectively.
2. Verify and note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC), which
will be used in Step 7. There are two ways to do this:
•
Use the PowerFlex 525 drive’s keypad or a HIM to access the diagnostic
items of the drive. Scroll to items 34 [HW Addr 1] through 39 [HW
Addr 6]
to view the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC).
Finally, convert these decimal values to a hex value.
• Locate the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) label on the
ENET1/ENET2 ports (provided with the adapter).
TIP If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway address using parameters. For details, see
Using Adapter
Parameters on page 31 .
Options 1 “Parameters”
2 “BOOTP”
3 “DHCP” (Default)
