5. Mount the terminating base that was shipped with the adapter as

the last base in the backplane instead of the base that was
shipped with the I/O module.

Set the Network Address

The adapter ships with the rotary switches set to 999 and DHCP
enabled. To change the network address, you can:

• 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 adapter reads the switches first to determine if the switches are
set to a valid number. You set the network address by adjusting the 3
switches on the front of the module (refer to the illustration on page
1). Use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the switches. Line up the
small notch on the switch with the number setting you wish to use.
Valid settings range from 001 through 254.
