Figure 26 – Network Address Example
The adapter’s subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to
0.0.0.0. A power cycle is required for any new IP address to take effect.
If the switches are set to an invalid number (such as 000 or a value greater than
254), the adapter will check to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the
adapter requests an address from a DHCP server. If DHCP is not enabled, the
adapter will use the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters)
stored in non-volatile memory.

Use the Rockwell
Automation BootP/DHCP
Utility The Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility is a stand alone 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
installation CD. The ArmorStart EtherNet/IP adapter must have DHCP
enabled (factory default) to use the utility.

Factory Setting 99
DO NOT CHANGE
IMPORTANT Refer to Figure 27, the ArmorStart is shipped with the control module
rotary switches set to a value of 99. DO NOT modify this setting. If
these are changed and the unit stops responding, the switches will need
to be manually set to node address 63 and power cycled.
