Chapter 3 Configure the EtherNet/IP Network
Assign an IP Address to the Controller over a USB Connection
At initial powerup, the CompactLogix 5370 L2 controller does not have an IP address. Use
RSLinx Classic software over a USB connection to assign an IP address. The following steps will
work only if the computer with RSLinx Classic software is connected to the controller via a
USB connection.
1. Verify that your computer is connected to the USB port on the front of the controller.
2. From the Communications menu,
choose RSWho.
The RSWho dialog box appears.
3. Navigate to the USB connection.
4. Right-click the controller and choose
Module Configuration.
The Module Configuration dialog
box appears.
IMPORTANT There are other methods to assign an IP address to the controller, such as using the BOOTP/DHCP utility. This section is
only one example of how to assign the IP address to the controller.
For more information on the methods to assign an IP address to the CompactLogix 5370 L2 controller, see the
CompactLogix 5370 Controllers User Manual, publication
