Stopping the
Processor
Instead of a BOOTP server, Schneider Electric’s BOOTP Lite utility software can
be used to provide the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway to the
processor.
A response from BOOTP Lite will cause the processor to enter Stopped mode on
completion of power up, if the processor has been set to “Specify IP Address”
mode via Concept. This is useful when inappropriate outbound network traffic
might result if the processor immediately transitioned into Run mode after power
up.
Refer to the BOOTP Lite user documentation for instructions.
CAUTION
INCORRECT MAC ADDRESS HAZARD
Be sure to verify the MAC address of the target device before invoking BOOTP Lite. If
you do not enter the correct parameters of the target controller, it will run in its old
configuration. An incorrect MAC address may also result in an unwanted change to
another device and cause unexpected results.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.
