Fieldbus Controller 750-841 • 81
Starting up an ETHERNET TCP/IP fieldbus node
WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750
ETHERNET TCP/IP
BootP table
Note
A prerequisite for the following steps is the correct installation of the WAGO
BootP server.
1. To start the BootP server, click on the Start menu item Programs/WAGO
Software/WAGO BootP Server.
2. After the BootP Server is started, click on the Edit Bootptab button
located on the right hand side of the display. An editable file will appear in
Windows NotePad (bootptab.txt). This file is a database for the BootP
server. The file contains two examples for the allocation of an IP address,
the example commands are directly after the following comment lines:
- "Example of entry with no gateway"
- "Example of entry with gateway"
Fig. 3-11: BootP table p012908d
The examples mentioned above contain the following information:
Declaration Meaning
node1,
node2
Any name can be given for the node here.
ht=1 Specify the hardware type of the network here.
The hardware type for ETHERNET is 1.
ha=0030DE000100
ha=0030DE000200
Specify the hardware address or the MAC-ID of the ETHERNET
fieldbus controller (hexadecimal).
ip= 10.1.254.100
ip= 10.1.254.200
Enter the IP address of the ETHERNET fieldbus controller (decimal)
here.
T3=0A.01.FE.01 Specify the gateway IP address here.
Write the address in hexadecimal form.
Sm=255.255.0.0 In addition enter the Subnet-mask of the subnet (decimal), where the
ETHERNET fieldbus controller belongs to.
No gateway is required for the local network described in this example.
Therefore, the first example: "Example of entry with no gateway" can be
used.
