Chapter 1 Overview of the 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter
The Enhanced Rack-Optimization option is only supported in the following.
Important Adapter
Considerations
Before you begin using your adapter, note the following important
considerations.
Thumbwheel Settings
You can set the thumbwheels on the adapter to perform different functions. Refer
to the following table to see the valid thumbwheel settings and the corresponding
function.
If the thumbwheels are set to an invalid number, the adapter checks to see if
DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the adapter requests an address from a
DHCP server. The DHCP server also assigns other Transport Control Protocol
(TCP) parameters.
Set the
Chassis Size
The I/O adapters for EtherNet/IP require configuration of their chassis size
before you can make any I/O connections. The factory default setting for the
chassis size is one slot, which represents the adapter by itself.
You must set the chassis size to a number equaling one slot for the adapter plus
one slot for each I/O module present in the backplane of the adapter.
