Configure the Module for Ethernet Communication
Before configuring channel 3A for Ethernet communication, be sure to:
• know the Ethernet hardware address.
• assign an IP address to the module.
Because the module uses the TCP/IP protocol, each Ethernet hardware address on the
network requires a unique IP address.
The IP address is software-configurable using either the BOOTP protocol or your
programming software package.
Contact your network administrator for a unique IP address to assign to your module.
Configure Channel 3A
Once you obtain the IP address that you will assign to the module, you must configure
channel 3A so your network recognizes the module.
If the module is connected to You must assign
an Ethernet PLC-5 controller two IP addresses:
• one for the controller.
• one for the module.
an Enhanced PLC-5 controller one (1) IP address for the module.
a ControlNet PLC-5 controller one (1) IP address for the module.
