• Tools directory on the Studio 5000 environemnt installation CD
Follow these steps to set the module’s IP address with a BOOTP/DHCP server.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Network Settings.
3. Type the Subnet Mask of the network.
The Gateway address, Primary and/or Secondary DNS address, and

modules issuing BOOTP requests.

Before you start the BOOTP/DHCP server, make sure you have the
module’s hardware (MAC) address. The hardware address is on a sticker
on the side of the communication module and uses an address in a
format similar to the following:
