If you are speaking of EtherNet/IP, then the CIP about Ethernet is meant. The end device's proto-
col is being converted in the UNIGATE
12.1

Data exchange mode

The gateway has to be in the data exchange mode, so that a data exchange between the RS-
side of the gateway and the fieldbus is possible. This mode is always avtive as long as the gate-
way is not in the configuration mode, the firmware update- or Debugmode. In the data exchange
mode the gateway will carry out the downloaded Script.

EtherNet/IP address-assignment

The Ethernet/IP address can either be assigned through WINGATE, the Script or via DHCP.
