Chapter 3 Quick Start

Overview
The AMETEK ReadyLink™ EtherNet/IP™ LDT with RapidRecall™ is a
smart device; it has a RapidRecall™ Configuration Module to help aid in
configuration of the LDT. This module is located on the head assembly
of the LDT, next to the connectors. The RapidRecall™ module can be
used to help configure the static IP address of the LDT and store all
user defined configurations. In the module there are three rotary DIP
switches that will allow the user to configure how the IP address will
be assigned. Once the LDT has been configured, these settings can
be uploaded to the module. One of the key benefits to uploading the
configuration data to the RapidRecall™ module is that, if anything was
to ever go wrong with the LDT, the RapidRecall™ module with the entire
user programmed settings could be removed from the original unit and
installed on the replacement unit. With a simple command from the DIP
switches the user configuration settings can be downloaded from the
Rapid Recall™ Module to the new LDT.
This module is held in place with two 6-32 x ½" screws. The network
configuration module connects to the LDT thru a Micro USB-B connector.
3.1 - Programming the IP Address
This chapter will describe how to program the IP address, the subnet
mask and the gateway for the Ethernet/IP™ LDT.
There are four ways to program the IP address in the Network LDT.
• Through our IPconfig Network utility program (Switches must be
set to 255)
• Through BootP/DHCP server (Switches must be set to 255)
• Through a web browser (Switches must be set to 255)
• Through the rotary DIP switches on the RapidRecall™
Configuration module
These modes are determined by how the DIP switches are set in the
RapidRecall™ Configuration Module. The default out of the box settings
for these switches will be 255 DHCP enabled.
3.2 - IP Addressing Modes
Static IP Address Selection – Via Rotary DIP Switches
DIP Switch Position Function
000 DHCP
001 to 254 Static IP address lower octet value; upper 3 octets
from previous setup stored in LDT non-volatile
memory
255 Entire Address assigned in LDT non-volatile memory.
If DHCP is enabled the DHCP server will assign an
IP address on start-up. If DHCP is disabled the
previous IP address will be retained in memory.
Note: Changing the Node address via the DIP switches, will only take effect on power up. Changing the IP address with power applied to the LDT
will generate a minor fault.
When the DIP switches are set to 000 – 254, you cannot set the IP address using the IPconfig, BootP or the internal web browser.
