Using BOOTP Lite to Assign Address Parameters

Specifying
Addresses/
Stopping the
Processor

Instead of a BOOTP server, Schneider Electric’s BOOTP Lite utility software can be
used to provide the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway to the processor.

A response from BOOTP Lite will cause the processor to enter Stopped mode on
completion of power up, if the processor has been set to “Specify IP Address”
mode via Concept. This is useful when inappropriate outbound network traffic might
result if the processor immediately transitioned into Run mode after power up.

Refer to the BOOTP Lite user documentation for instructions.

CAUTION

INCORRECT MAC ADDRESS HAZARD

Be sure to verify the MAC address of the target device before invoking BOOTP Lite. If you
do not enter the correct parameters of the target controller, it will run in its old configuration.
An incorrect MAC address may also result in an unwanted change to another device and
cause unexpected results.

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

Note: BOOTP Lite and the user document are available for download at
