Use DHCP Software to Configure Your Module Before you can use your device, you must configure the IP address, subnet mask, Configuration and, optionally, the gateway address. You can use the Rockwell Automation Requirements BootP/DHCP utility (version 2.3 or greater) to perform the configuration. You can also use a DHCP server or the network address switches to configure these parameters.
4. Within 3 seconds, disconnect and then reconnect the two wires again. Restore Device Defaults Via WebConnect 1. From the Start view, click the gear icon to open the Application Settings menu. 2. Click the Restore Default Settings button. Rockwell Automation Publication 48CR-UM001A-EN-P - November 2019...
Chapter 4 IMPORTANT If you use the BootP/DHCP utility, you must know the Ethernet hardware address of your module. Rockwell Automation assigns each module a unique 48-bit hardware address at the factory. The address is printed on a label on the side of your module.
Two bits of the Class B host ID have been used to extend the net ID. Each unique combination of bits in the part of the Host ID where subnet mask bits are 1 specifies another logical network. Rockwell Automation Publication 48CR-UM001A-EN-P - November 2019...
1. Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP. 2. Retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory. The Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that Use the incorporates the functionality of standard BootP/DHCP software with a user- Rockwell Automation friendly graphical interface.
