Set the
Network Address
The adapters ship DHCP-enabled and with the switches set to
999. You can set
the network Internet Protocol (IP) address as follows.
Set the Network Address for ArmorPOINT I/O Adapters
•
Adjust the rotary switches in front of the module
•
Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server such as
Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP
•
Retrieve the IP address from non-volatile memory
The adapter reads the rotary switches first to determine if they are set to a valid
number. Set the network address by adjusting the three rotary switches on the
front of the adapter.
Figure 1 - Network Address Example
Use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the switches. Line up the small notch on
the switch with the number setting you wish to use. Valid settings range from
001…254.
When you use the switches to assign an address and set it to
001, the adapter
gateway address is set to
0.0.0.0. and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 . When
you use the switches to assign an address and set it to a valid number between
002...254, the adapter gateway address is set to 192.168.1.1.
If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater
than 254 excluding 888), the adapter checks to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP
is enabled, the adapter requests an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP
server also assigns other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
If DHCP is not enabled, the adapter uses the IP address, along with other TCP
configurable parameters, stored in non-volatile memory.
WARNING: When you change switch settings while power is on, an
electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
