Module Chain
Module Chain options are used to select Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
or Static IP addressing and to restore module IP address settings to factory default
values.
Static addressing
The Use Static Addressing option is available when modules are set to DHCP
addressing. This option will send a request to all modules in the module chain to set
them to static addressing.
To use static addressing:
Click the «Use Static Addressing» button.
A dialog box confirms that all modules have been set to static addressing.
Cycle power for the entire module chain by turning the power off and then back on.
Wait for the Network LED to flash twice per second on all modules.
Click the «OK» button in the dialog box.
MSEsetup performs a broadcast. A dialog box confirms the number of modules
found.
Click the «OK» button in the dialog box to overwrite the configurable module
settings with a backup file or the «Cancel» button to skip overwriting the settings.
A message is displayed in the Connect screen message area when broadcasting is
finished.
DHCP addressing
The Use DHCP Addressing option is available when modules are set to static
addressing. This option will send a request to all modules in the module chain to
set them to DHCP addressing. Refer to "Configuring the module chain with DHCP",
page 73.
DHCP addressing requires a router with a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server to be connected between the workstation and the
MSE 1000 base module.
