Configuring the Interface Module for Ethernet Communication

Based on this configuration, the BOOTPTAB file would look
like this:

Run your BOOTP server utility and then cycle power on the chassis
that contains the Ethernet interface module. This sends the
configuration information to the Ethernet sidecar module.

If you do not have access to a BOOTP server, Rockwell Automation
offers a BOOTP tool on http://www.ab.com/networks
