1.8.4 Connect the Adapter to the EtherNet/IP Network
Connect an Ethernet cable between the adapter’s Ethernet port, and the
EtherNet/IP network.
Note: This connection is temporary, and is helpful during configuration. You will disconnect the
Ethernet cable after you have finished configuring the adapter for wireless communication.
1.8.5 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network
Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network, configure it with an IP
address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This chapter describes
these configuration requirements and the procedures for providing them. Here
are ways you can do this:
 Use the Rockwell BootP/DHCP Utility (page 27)
You can also use this utility to reconfigure a device with an IP address you
must change.
 Use DHCP Software to Configure Your Adapter (page 25)
 Configure the IP Address with the Thumbwheel Switches (page 24)
Important: You must use series C POINT I/O modules with the ILX34-AENWG adapter. Series A
or B POINT I/O modules will not work with this adapter.
Configure the IP Address with the Thumbwheel Switches
ore you can connect to the ILX34-AENWG for the first time, you must configure
its IP address.
