Rockwell Automation 22-COMM-E EtherNet/IP Adapter - Manual (Page 27)

Configuring the Adapter 3-3
By default, the adapter is configured so that you can set its IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address by using a BOOTP utility. You can
select from a variety of BOOTP utilities. These instructions use
Rockwell’s BOOTP Server (version 2.1), a stand-alone program that
incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP utilities with a graphical
interface. It is available from http://www.ab.com/networks. Refer to the
Readme file and online Help for detailed directions and information.
To configure the adapter using BOOTP Server
1. On the label of the adapter, locate and note the hardware address of
the adapter.
2. On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network, start the
BOOTP software. The BOOTP Server window appears ( Figure 3.1 ).
Devices on the network issuing BOOTP requests appear in the
BOOTP Request History list.

3. In the BOOTP Request History list, double-click the hardware
address (Ethernet MAC address) of the adapter. The New Entry
dialog box appears (
Figure 3.2 ).
Using BOOTP
TIP: If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address by setting parameters. For details,
refer to
Setting the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address in
this chapter.
