To use a BootP server to configure the ENET/B module perform the
following steps:
1. Access and open the BootP tab file using a text editor.
2. Enter the IP address of your module.
If you need more information on setting IP addresses, refer to
pages 3-3 to 3-4.
3. Use the text editor to enter the Ethernet hardware address
(MAC ID) of your module. You must enter all digits, including
zeroes.
If you change or replace this Ethernet module, you must enter the
new Ethernet hardware address of the module when you configure
the new module.
4. Enter the Gateway Address.
If you need more information on assigning gateway addresses,
refer to pages 3-4 to 3-4.
5. Enter the Subnet Mask
If you need more information on selecting subnet masks, refer to
pages 3-5 to 3-5.
6. After you have entered all the configuration data, save the file in a
directory where the BootP server can access it.
IMPORTANT
When using the BootP protocol, you must enter the
Ethernet hardware address of your module. Rockwell
assigns each Ethernet module a unique 48-bit
hardware address at the factory. The address is
printed on a label on the front of your Ethernet
module as shown in the figure on the left. It consists
of six hexadecimal digits separated by dots. This
address is fixed by the hardware, and cannot be
changed.
