Defining an Ethernet Port

When you have successfully signed on, click on the "Ports" tab. On the 'Ports' page, you must

now define an Ethernet Port. Select the ENET1 port, then enter an IP address in "IP ADDR A"

and an "IP MASK" to define the valid range of IP addresses to which this port can send data.

For an explanation of IP addresses and IP masks, see Chapter 1 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual

(document# D5081).

First, you must select the

Ethernet Port (ENET1).

Next, enter an IP address,

then enter an IP mask

to define the valid range

of IP addresses to which

this port can send data.

IMPORTANT

In newer ControlWave units, all Ethernet ports are pre-programmed at the factory with initial IP

addresses and masks. For the I/O Expansion Rack’s Ethernet port, the initial address and mask are:

ETH1 IP Address: 10.0.1.1 IP Mask: 255.255.255.0

Because each unit shipping from the factory will have these initially pre-programmed, you should

only use this address for ‘bench’ testing and configuration. This address must be changed before

putting the unit on an actual network, since an address conflict would exist as soon as the second unit

was placed online.
