2.4.3

Assigning the IP Network Address

The Internet Protocol (IP) network address is a 32-bit address in the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each group xxx is a decimal number ranging from 0 to 255.

If the module will be communicating on an open network or if the module’s derived
IP address is already being used, consult your network administrator to obtain a
unique address. Type the new address in fields B4 through B1.

A space is provided for recording the IP network address on the label inside the
front door panel.

If you input the address before installing the module or if you hot swap the module,
it will automatically recognize the address you have already specified and will
identify itself accordingly.

Note: If you are using the configuration extension to change the IP network
address, you also must input the backplane slot number. Without the slot number,
the system will not recognize your changes.

2.4.4

Assigning the Default Gateway Address and Subnet Mask

Consult your network administrator to determine whether you need to specify a
default gateway address and subnet mask. If this data is required, the network
administrator should supply it. Input the gateway address in fields G4 through G1.
Input the subnet mask at the bottom of the screen.

Note: If you are using the configuration extension to assign a gateway address
and subnet mask, remember to input a slot number as well. The slot number is
required to activate the configuration extension.

2.4.5

Resetting the Module

If you change the default configuration after installing the module, you must reset
the module for your changes to take effect. The module may be reset through a
command in the MSTR block in Modsoft(page 37), by cycling power or by lifting the
module off the backplane and then setting it back in its slot.

CAUTION

DUPLICATE ADDRESS HAZARD

Be sure to register the module’s IP network address with your system administrator to avoid
duplication.

Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.
