Figure 16, WAGO ‐ edit BootPtab.txt.
The file "BootPtab.txt" has many lines that are commented by the "#" (pound symbol). Any line
without a # will be processed so be careful when editing this file.
Look at the first line (near the bottom of the file) that does not have a pound symbol. (#)
KeinProxy:ht=1:ha=0030DE000002:ip=10.1.254.202:
KeinProx
‐ is a label. German meaning "Node Name". It may be changed to any label or descriptor you
like to identify the WAGO Ethernet I/O hardware.
Example MyWAGOconfig:
ht
= hardware type.
ha
= is short for Hardware Address, also known as the MAC ID. It needs to match the MAC ID number
that is located on the right side of the field coupler.
Example ha=0030DE000002:
ip
= is short for Internet Protocol, the WAGO node address.
Example ip=192.168.0.123:
MyWAGOconfig:ht=1:ha=0030DE000002:ip=192.168.0.123:
Look at the bottom (last) line in the file. This is a second example that demonstrates how to add the
gateway address. If a gateway address is not going to be used, comment out this line by adding a #.
Most applications typically do not use the gateway.

Figure 17, WAGO ‐ Start BootP Server
Now click on the start tab to display status messages.
Turn the power off on the WAGO fieldbus coupler and wait for 5 seconds.
Now turn the power back on the WAGO fieldbus coupler. You should see additional status messages
scrolling down the BootP Server screen.
Verify the status information displayed:
Packets were received from an IP Address.
The Ethernet Address is the same as the MAC ID of the Fieldbus coupler.
The KeinProxy, or node identifier, and IP Address match what was entered in the text file using Notepad.
