Configure the Adapter for Your
EtherNet/IP Network
Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network, you need to configure it
with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This chapter
describes these configuration requirements and the procedures for providing
them. Here are ways you can do this:
• Use the Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or later,
that ships with RSLogix 5000 or RSLinx software.
– You can also use this utility to reconfigure a device with an IP address
you must change.
• Use a third party DHCP server.
• Use the Network Address rotary switches.
• Have your network administrator configure the adapter via the network
DHCP server.
See the table for a list of where to find information in this chapter.
Configuration
Requirements Before you can use your adapter, you must configure its IP address, its subnet
mask, and, optionally, a gateway address. You can use the Rockwell Automation
BootP utility, version 2.3 or later, to perform the configuration. You can also use a
DHCP server or the network address switches to configure these parameters.
If you need to reset the adapter to factory defaults, see Work with the
Configuration Pages on page 66.
