Manually Configuring Channel 1 for Controllers on Subnets

If you are manually configuring channel 1 for a MicroLogix 1100 controller
located on a subnet, deselect both of the “BOOTP Enable” and “DHCP
Enable” options by clicking on the checked box, as shown in the figure below.

See the table below to configure the subnet mask and gateway address fields
for each controller via your programming software.

Configure by doing the following:

Subnet Mask

The controller’s subnet mask.

The subnet mask is used to interpret IP
addresses when the internet is divided
into subnets.

Enter an address of the following form:

a.b.c.d Where: a, b, c, d are between 0...255 (decimal)

If your network is not divided into subnets, then leave the subnet mask
field at the default. If you change the default and need to reset it, type
0.0.0.0.

Gateway Address The IP address of the gateway that

provides a connection to another IP
network.

This field is required when you
communicate with other devices not on a
local subnet.

Enter an address of the following form:

a.b.c.d Where: a, b, c, d are between 0...255 (decimal)

The default address is No Gateway.
