Chapter 3 Configure the Interface for Your EtherNet/IP Network
Configuration Requirements Before you can use your interface, you must configure its IP address, its subnet
mask, and, optionally, a gateway address. You can use the Rockwell BootP utility,
version 2.3 or later, to perform the
configuration. You can also use a DHCP
server or the network address switches to configure these parameters.
If you need to reset the interface to factory defaults, set the network address
rotary switches to 888 and perform a power cycle to the device.
IP Address
The IP address identifies each node on the IP network (or system of connected
networks). Each TCP/IP node on a network (including the interface) must have
a unique IP address.
The IP address is 32 bits long and has a Network ID part and Host ID part.
Networks are classified A, B, C, (or other). The class of the network determines
how an IP address is formatted
.
You can distinguish the class of the IP address from the first integer in its dotted-
decimal IP address as follows:
Each node on the same physical network must have an IP address of the same
class and must have the same network ID. Each node on the same network must
have a different Host ID thus giving it a unique IP address.
IP addresses are written as four decimal integers (0…255) separated by periods
where each integer gives the value of one byte of the IP address
.
ATTENTION: You must use firmware version 2 or later Guardmaster Safety
Relays equipped with the optical bus with the interface. Firmware version 1
Guardmaster Safety Relays do not work with the interface.

EXAMPLE For example, the 32-bit IP address:
10000000 00000001 00000000 00000001 is written as
