Configuring the EtherNet/IP Module

4.3

Using BOOTP to Set the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address

By default, the module is configured so that you can set its IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address by using a BOOTP
utility. You can select from a variety of BOOTP utilities. These
instructions use Rockwell’s BOOTP Server (version 2.1), a stand-
alone program that incorporates the functionality of standard
BOOTP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from
http://www.reliance.com/prodserv/standriv/software.

Refer to

the Readme file and online Help for detailed directions and
information.

Note: If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address by setting parameters.

To configure the module using BOOTP Server, use the following
procedure:

Step 1.

On the label of the module, locate and note the hardware
address of the module.

Step 2.

On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network,
start the BOOTP software. The BOOTP Server window
appears as shown in figure 4.1. Devices on the network
issuing BOOTP requests appear in the BOOTP Request
History list.

4. Press Enter to select

the Ethernet/IP
module. The
Parameters menu for
the module will be
displayed.

5. Press Enter to access

the parameters. Edit
the module parameters
using the same
techniques that you
use to edit parameters.
