Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network

Set the Network Address for ArmorPOINT I/O Adapter

Adjust the switches in front of the module

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 switches first to determine if the switches are set to a valid
number. Set the network address by adjusting the three switches on the front of
the adapter.

Network Address Example

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

001254.

When you use the switches 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 255.255.255.0 . When

you use the switches to assign an address and set it to a valid number between

002...254, the adapter gateway address is set to 192.168.1.1.

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.

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.

This example shows the network address
set at 163.
