Configuring the encoder for your EtherNet/IP
network
Setting the IP Address The 842E encoder is shipped with the network address switches set to 888. You
must assign it an IP address using one of the two methods outlined below.
You can set the IP address of the 842E encoder using either one of the following
methods:
1. Use the network address switches (see figure on page 19) on the encoder to
set the last octet of the IP address (192.168.1.xxx) .
2. Use the network address switches to enable BootP / DHCP and use a
BootP utility or DHCP server to assign the IP address of the unit on
powerup.
Assigning the last octet in an IP address scheme of 192.168.1.xxx
using the network address switches
1. Set the three network address switches to 999.
2. Cycle power to the encoder.
3. Set the three network address switches to a valid address of 001 – 254.
4. Cycle power to the encoder.
5. The encoder will power up with the IP address set to 192.168.1.xxx, where
xxx is the position of the three network address switches.
