If you do not have BOOTP/DHCP Server capabilities on your network, and you want to dynamically configure the ENI/ENIW, you can download the Rockwell Automation BOOTP/DHCP Utility from www.ab.com/networks/bootp/index.html. The BOOTP/DHCP Server Utility provides you with an interface from which you can select a module and interactively assign it an IP address.
BOOTP Configuration Method (default) Table B.1 TCP/IP Parameters Function Format Notes IP Address Integer This is a unique IP Address for the ENI/ENIW. Format is aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd. Default is 000.000.000.000. Subnet Mask If not sent, the default mask is derived from the class optional of the IP address.
BOOTP Configuration Method (default) Using the Rockwell The Rockwell BOOTP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP software with a BOOTP/DHCP Utility user-friendly graphical interface. It is located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix 5000 installation CD. It can also be downloaded from www.ab.com/networks/bootp/index.html web page.

1761-NET-ENI/ENIW Performance Considerations Data Throughput In tests performed using the RSLinx OPC Test Client, the ENI/ENIW (series D) was connected to a MicroLogix 1500 with channel 0 set to 38.4 kbaud. The Ethernet port was connected to the computer through a 10/100 Mbps switch. Number of Packets Packet Size (Words) Packet Rate (packet/s)
Glossary Autobaud A feature that allows a communications port to automatically synchronize to the device or network that it is attached to. This feature typically minimizes the amount of configuration required, and also makes is easier to replace devices. Auto BCC/CRC Sends a test message during autobaud to detect which Error Detecting setting to use, BCC or CRC.
Page 136
Glossary IP (Internet Protocol) IP specifies the format of packets and the addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transport Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source. IP by itself is something like the postal system. It allows you to address a package and drop it in the system, but there's no direct link between you and the recipient.
Page 137
Glossary Security Mask The Security Mask, when configured, allows you to restrict incoming TCP/IP and/or UDP messages to have source IP addresses that are within some prescribed range. For example, if you wanted to restrict all message sources to be from within a company’s allocated IP address range, a Security Mask could be configured that would block any IP address outside that range.
