92 Connect to Networks via Ethernet Interface
• set the IP address of the module using the modules network address
switches. See Connecting to an Ethernet Network on page 90
.
The configuration parameters are shown in the Configuration Parameters
table, and the configuration procedures follow.
Configure Using
RSLogix 5000 Software
Refer to the online documentation provided with your programming software
or see Configure the Module for Your EtherNet/IP Network on page 17
and
Configure the Module Using RSLogix 5000 on page 27
.
Configuration Parameters
Parameter Description Default Status
Hardware
Address
The ArmorBlock module Ethernet hardware address. Ethernet
hardware
address
read only
IP Address The ArmorBlock module internet address (in network byte order). The internet address
must be specified to connect to the TCP/IP network.
0 (undefined) read/write
Subnet Mask The ArmorBlock module subnet mask (in network byte order). The Subnet Mask is used to
interpret IP addresses when the internet is divided into subnets. A Subnet Mask of all
zeros indicates that no subnet mask has been configured.
In this case, the controller assumes a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
0 (undefined) read/write
Gateway
Address
The address of a gateway (in network byte order) that provides connection to another IP
network. A Gateway Address of all zeros indicates that no gateway has been configured.
0 (undefined) read/write
Host name The Host Name is a unique name that identifies a device on a network. It must start with
a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits or
hyphens. Maximum length is 64 characters. It must have an even number of characters.
NULL
(undefined)
read/write
Default
Domain Name
The default domain name can have the following formats:
’a.b.c’, ’a.b’ or ’a’, where a, b, c must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and
have as interior characters only letters, digits or hyphens. Maximum length is 48
characters.
NULL
(undefined)
read/write
Primary Name
Server
This is the IP address of the computer acting as the local Ethernet network Primary
Domain Name System (DNS) server.
0 (undefined) read/write
Secondary
Name Server
This is the IP address of the computer acting as the local Ethernet network Secondary
Domain Name System (DNS) server.
0 (undefined) read/write
DHCP Enable When DHCP is enabled, a DHCP server automatically assigns network related parameters
to the ArmorBlock module when it logs into a TCP/IP network. There must be a DHCP
server on the network capable of allocating network addresses and configuring
parameters to newly attached device. When DHCP is disabled, the ArmorBlock module
uses the locally configured network related parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway Address, etc.).

Auto Negotiate
and Port
Setting
When Auto Negotiate is disabled (unchecked), the Ethernet speed/duplex is forced to
either 10 Mbps/Half-duplex, 10 Mbps/Full-duplex, 100 Mbps/Half-duplex, or 100
Mbps/Full-duplex, as selected in the Port Setting field.
When Auto Negotiate is enabled (checked), the ArmorBlock module will automatically
negotiate the link speed and duplex with the module it is connected to.
