Ethernet Network Configuration

Step 1: Connect the BridgeWay Module to Your Network

• Connect the Ethernet network cable to the RJ-45 fieldbus connector on

the end of the BridgeWay.

Step 2: Configure the BridgeWay IP Address Using Arp/Ping

• Set all 8 switches on the IP Address Configuration DIP switch to the ON

position.

• Turn the power ON.

• Open an MS-DOS™ window on the PC.

• Type ‘arp -s <IP address> <MAC address>’

Substitute <MAC address> with the MAC address of your BridgeWay

module. The MAC address is printed on a label on the back of the mod-

ule. (Don’t include the “<“or “>” characters shown above.) Separate

every 2 digits of the MAC address with a dash (-).

Ask your network administrator for an unused IP number.

Substitute <IP address> with the IP number you wish to use for the mod-

ule. (Don’t include the “<“or “>” characters.)

Note: The BridgeWay’s subnet mask and gateway address cannot be

changed using this method.

Example:

arp -s 65.106.34.252 00-30-11-02-00-5e

• Type ‘ping <IP address>’

Example:

ping 65.106.34.252
