Installation Guide
NOTICE
If an IP address is changed and its record is lost, use the
Ethernet Device Configuration Tool to scan the network
and identify the module.
NOTICE
If changing the subnet mask, the server is unable to
communicate with the module after the new settings are
saved.

5.3 Ethernet Device Configuration Tool

If the IP address is unknown, or if the subnet mask of the
web server does not match, use the Ethernet Device
Configuration Tool to connect to the Modbus TCP Module.
Changes made via the Ethernet Device Configuration Tool
cannot be stored permanently in the module and are lost
when control power is cycled. Use the Ethernet Device
Configuration Tool to change the IP address settings
temporarily. After that, use the new address to connect to
the module using the on-board web server to save the
settings permanently.
