3-2 Configuring the Interface Module for Ethernet Communication
Configuring Channel 3A Once you know the unique IP address that you will assign to the
PLC-5 Ethernet Interface Module, you must configure channel 3A so
your network recognizes the module.
Use your programming software package to designate channel 3A as
the channel that supports the PLC-5 Ethernet interface module if you
are configuring offline (if you are configuring online, designation is
automatic)
Important: To configure the 1785-ENET module online, it must be
attached to the PLC-5 processor.
Specifying Ethernet-Specific
Information Specify Ethernet-specific information for the interface module
by either:
• manually entering module configuration information using the
screens within your programming software package
• supplying module configuration information using a
BOOTP utility (use a BOOTP server on your network and edit
the BOOTPTAB file)
Manually Entering Module Configuration Information
The default for the Ethernet interface module is BOOTP enabled. You
must first disable BOOTP before you can use the programming
software to enter module configuration information.
To disable BOOTP and to manually enter module configuration
information for channel 3A, follow the steps specified in your
programming software documentation.
