Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000 software Chapter 3

If DHCP is not enabled, the adapter uses the IP address, along with other TCP
configurable parameters, stored in non-volatile memory.

Use the Rockwell BootP/
DHCP Utility

The Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that incorporates
the functionality of standard BootP software with a user-friendly graphical
interface. It is located in the

Utils directory on the RSLogix5000 software

installation CD. The adapter must have DHCP enabled (factory default and the
network address switches set to an invalid value) to use the utility.

To configure your adapter using the BootP utility, perform the following steps:

1. Run the BootP software.
2. In the BOOTP Request History panel you see the hardware addresses of

devices issuing BootP requests.

WARNING: When you change switch settings while power is on, an
electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
