adjust the switches on the front of the module.

use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as
Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP.

retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory.

The I/O block reads the switches first to determine if the switches are set to a valid
number. To set the network address:

1.

Remove power.

2.

Remove the switch dust caps.

3.

Rotate the three (3) switches on the front of the module using a small
blade screwdriver.

4.

Line up the small notch on the switch with the number setting you wish to use.
Valid settings range from 001…254.

5.

Replace switch dust caps. Make sure not to over tighten.

6.

Reapply power.

7.

Record IP address on product label found on the side of enclosure.

Set Network Address

When the switches are set to a valid number, the I/O block’s IP address is 192.168.1.xxx,
where xxx represents the number set on the switches. The I/O block’s subnet mask is
255.255.255.0 and default gateway address is set to 192.168.1.1.

When the I/O block uses the network address set on the switches, the I/O block does not
have a host name assigned to it or use any Domain Name Server.

If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater than 254
excluding 888), the I/O block checks to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the
I/O block asks for an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server also assigns other
Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters. The modules are shipped with the
network switches set to 999.
