Configuring the Module
3-3
By default, the module is configured so that you can set its IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address by using a BOOTP utility. You can
select from a variety of BOOTP utilities. These instructions use
Rockwell’s BOOTP Server (version 2.1), a stand-alone program that
incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP utilities with a
graphical interface. It is available from http://www.ab.com/networks.
Refer to the Readme file and online Help for detailed directions and
information.
To configure the module IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address using BOOTP Server
1. On the module label, locate and note the module’s hardware address.
2. On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network, start the
BOOTP software. The BOOTP Server window appears. Devices on
the network issuing BOOTP requests appear in the BOOTP Request
History list.

3. In the BOOTP Request History list, double-click the hardware
address (Ethernet MAC address) of the module.
Using BOOTP
TIP: If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address by setting parameters. For details,
refer to
