Page 6: Functional Description
The IP address of the module can be programmed to a fixed address by a windows PC running the ELEXOL Ether I/O 24 Test and Programming utility software (downloadable from the Elexol website). Alternately, the user may program the fixed IP address from their own software by using the EEPROM writing commands. -
