22 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network
dynamic allocation of network addresses and configurations to newly attached
devices.
Be cautious about using DHCP software to configure your adapter. A BootP
client, such as the 1794-AENTR or 1794-AENTRXT adapter, can boot from a
DHCP server only if the DHCP server is specifically written to also handle
BootP queries. This is specific to the DHCP software package you use. Check
with your system administrator to see if your DHCP package supports BootP
commands and manual IP allocation.
Chapter Summary
This chapter described how to configure the module to communicate on your
EtherNet/IP network by providing an IP address, gateway address, and Subnet
mask. Read the next chapter to learn how to set up your adapter for a rack
optimized system.
ATTENTION: The 1794-AENTR or 1794-AENTRXT adapter must be
assigned a fixed network address. The IP address of this adapter must
not be dynamically provided.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in unintended machine
motion or loss of process control.
