Configure a Supervisor on a Device-level Ring Network Chapter 4
Configure Supervisor Nodes
on a DLR Network After you have installed all devices on the DLR network, you must configure the
supervisor node. Ring nodes do not require any configuration.
Before you can complete a DLR network, that is, configure all devices on the
network and make all physical connections, you must configure and enable a ring
supervisor with one of these options:
• the Studio 5000 environment
• RSLinx Classic software
Configure a Ring Supervisor in the Studio 5000 Environment
Consider the following before you use the Studio5000 environment to configure
an EtherNet/IP communication module as a ring supervisor:
• Depending on the module’s firmware revision, you must use a specific
Add-on Profile (AOP) version. For example, if you use a 1756-EN2TR
module, firmware revision 3.
x, you must use AOP, version 2.x or later.
For more information on module firmware revisions and required AOP
versions, go to

LogixProfiler.asp
• The Major Revision parameter in a module’s configuration must match
the Major Revision of the physical module.
If the Major Revision levels do not match, The Studio 5000 environment
alerts you to the mismatch when you attempt to configure the Internet
Protocol, Port Configuration and Network tabs for that device.
• Some supervisor-capable devices require you to configure more parameters
than others.
This chapter describes how to configure a 1756-EN2TR module as a ring
supervisor. For more information on configuring other modules as ring
supervisors, see the EtherNet/IP Embedded Switch Technology
Application Guide, publication
ENET-AP005 .
IMPORTANT This section assumes that you set the IP address for each device on the
EtherNet/IP network when you installed that device.
If you have not done so already, configure the IP address for the supervisor-
capable devices before configuring them to be supervisors.
For more information on setting IP addresses, see Set the Network IP Address
on a Module on page 18 .
