Set the

Network Address

The adapters ship DHCP-enabled and with the Network address thumbwheel
switches set to

999. You can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address as

follows.

Set the Network Address for POINT I/O Adapters

Use the thumbwheel switches located on the adapter. Press either the + or -
buttons to change the number and assign the IP address.

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

Retrieve the IP address from non-volatile memory.

The adapter reads the thumbwheel switches first to determine if the switches are
set to a valid number. You set the node address by using the 3-position
thumbwheel switch. Press the + or - buttons to change the number. Valid settings
range from

001…254.

When you use the thumbwheel to assign an address and set it to

001, the adapter

gateway address is set to

0.0.0.0. and the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 .

When you use the thumbwheel to assign an IP address between

002...254, the

adapter gateway address is set to

192.168.1.1.

The adapter does not have a host name assigned, or use any Domain Name
System when using the thumbwheel settings.

If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater
than 254 excluding 888), the adapter checks to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP
is enabled, the adapter requests an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP
server also assigns other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
