Installation Instructions Chapter 2
Assign an IP Address Before you can use the hardware, you must assign an IP address to the primary
adapter module. This is done by associating an IP address to the MAC address of
the primary hardware component, in this case, the adapter base unit.
Assign only one primary IP address to the MAC address.
Any BOOTP/DHCP server can be used to assign IP addresses.
Step 1: Assign an IP Address on the BOOTP/DHCP Server
To assign an address, follow this procedure to launch the BOOTP/DHCP
server.
1. From the Start button, choose Programs>Rockwell Software™>BOOTP-
DHCP Server>BOOTP-DHCP Server.
TIP You only assign one IP address to this hardware. The firmware automatically
assigns the secondary IP address, which is the primary IP address + 1. The
secondary module is not visible in the RSLinx Classic RSWho tool. It responds to
an Ethernet ping of its IP address.
