Chapter

Configure the Adapter with RSLogix5000

software

Introduction

This chapter guides you through the steps required to configure your modules

using the RSLogix 5000 software. Note that the modules presented in this

chapter can be configured using RSLogix 5000 software, version 17, or later.

Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network, you need to 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, version 2.3 or later, that ships

with RSLogix 5000 or RSLinx software.

– You can also use this utility to reconfigure a device with an IP address

you must change.

• Use a

third party DHCP server.

• Use the Network Address rotary switches.

• Have your network administrator configure the adapter via the network

DHCP server.

See the table for where to find information in this chapter.
