Connection Properties The Connection tab lets you define the connection properties described below.
Switch Configuration
Properties Configure the parameters for the switch configuration on the Switch
Configuration tab. You must be online to perform these configurations. In
Offline mode, the fields on the tab are unavailable.
The IP address can be manually assigned (static), or it can be automatically
assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
default is Static. We recommend that you choose Static and manually assign the
IP address for the switch. You can then use the same IP address whenever you
want to access the switch:
• Static—Manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
• DHCP—The switch automatically obtains an IP address, default gateway,
and subnet mask from the DHCP server. As long as the switch is not
restarted, it continues to use the assigned IP information.
Field Description
Requested Packet Interval (RPI) Enter a value between 300…5000 ms.
Inhibit Module Check to disable communication between the controller and the switch. Clear to restore communication.
Major Fault on Controller If Connection Fails While in Run mode Check to have the controller create a major fault if the connection fails during Run mode.
Use Unicast Connections over EtherNet/IP Check to use unicast connections with the EtherNet/IP network.
Module Fault Displays any fault codes returned from the controller and the text describing the fault.
