Rockwell Automation 1785-ENET USER MANUAL PLC-5 ETHERNET INTERFACE - Manual (Page 13)

1785-6.5.19 November 1998
Quick Start 1-5
A. Be sure channel 3A is designated as the channel supporting the
1785-ENET module.
• Your programming software must support configuration for
channel 3A.
• The PLC-5 processor must contain the proper firmware
revision. See chapter 2.
• If you are configuring online and the interface module is
attached to the processor, channel 3A will automatically
support the interface module.
• If you are configuring offline, follow the steps listed in your
programming software documentation.
B. Specify Ethernet-specific configuration information (including
the IP address) using any one of these methods:
• manually configure channel 3A using your programming
software
• use a BOOTP server already on your network (see your
Ethernet network administrator for assistance).
Rockwell Automation offers a BOOTP tool on

Important: Assign a diagnostics file to store all status information for
channel 3A. Use your programming software to select an unused
integer file number (10-999). The software creates an integer file that
is 44 words long.
Step 7 Configure channel 3A for Ethernet communication. See Chapter 3
