3.5 - Using BOOTP/DHCP Utility Program
Studio 5000 BOOTP/DHCP application can be used to assign an IP
address to the Network LDT via DHCP. Cable connections must be
made to the Network LDT for both communications and power. DHCP
must be enabled and the switches in the Rapid Recall™ module must
be set to 255.
Note: The Network LDT's factory out of the box state has the DIP
switches set to 255 and the DHCP enabled.
Attention: DHCP is not recommended for a plant floor environment due to
the risk involved when an IP address changes.
Perform the following steps:
Step 1: Connect LDT to network with power off. Open the BOOTP/DHCP
Server Software in the Windows browser with the Network LDT
in an unpowered state. A module configuration screen will
open to configure or modify the EtherNet/IP address. In the
Request History Pane you will see the time a message came
from an EtherNet module, data type and MAC Addresses of the
devices on the network. No IP addresses are shown for the
devices with the DHCP enabled.

Step 2: Power up the Network LDT, an incoming request for an IP
address that the server has received from the LDT will appear in
the Request History Pane. The LDT can be identified by its MAC
address that appears in the pane. Click on the MAC address to
highlight that row and then click on the "Add to Relation List"
button, which will open the New Entry dialog box.
Enter the desired IP address and click OK.
The desired IP address and its MAC address will appear in the Relation
List Pane.
