This action causes the *Not Active* message (in red) to display a Waiting...Press Cancel to Quit
message (in green). This message indicates that Studio is waiting to detect the device value of the
NI Controller associated with the ID button.
4. Press the NI Controller’s ID button to read the device value of the NI Controller, and assign it to the
new value entered in step 2.
Once the swap has been successfully made, a red Successful Identification Made field appears.
The previous Device and System numbers of the NI Controller are displayed below the red
field.
Example: Previous D:S=32002:1,
where 32002 represents the previous device value of the NI Controller (D) and 1
represents the NI Controller ’s System value (S).
Obtaining the NI Controller’s IP Address (using DHCP)
1. In NetLinx Studio, select Diagnostics > Network Addresses from the Main menu to access the
Network Addresses dialog (FIG. 2).
2. Verify that both the System number corresponds to the System value previously assigned within the
Device Addressing tab and that zero (0) is entered into the Device field.
3. Click the Get IP Information button to configure the on-board Master for DHCP usage and then
read the IP Address obtained from the DHCP Server.
Verify there is an active Ethernet connection on the NI Controller’s Ethernet port
before beginning these procedures.

Used to obtain a
Dynamic (DHCP)
IP Address
The system value must correspond to the Device Address entered in the Device
Addressing dialog. Refer to the Manage System - System Number section on
page 42 for more detailed instructions on setting a system value.
DO NOT enter ANY IP information at this time; this step only gets the System Master
to recognize that it should begin using an obtained DHCP Address.
