Chapter

Configure the Adapter with RSLogix 5000 or
Logix Designer Software
Introduction
This chapter guides you through the steps required to configure your modules
using the RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer
(1)
software. Note that the modules
presented in this chapter can be configured using RSLogix 5000 software, version
17, or later.
Before using your adapter in an EtherNet/IP network, you need to configure it
with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This chapter
describes these configuration requirements and the procedures for providing
them. Here are ways you can do this:
• Use the Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or later, that ships
with RSLogix 5000 or RSLinx software.
– You can also use this utility to reconfigure a device with an IP address
you must change.
• Use a
third party DHCP server.
• Use the Network Address thumbwheel switches.
• Have your network administrator configure the adapter via the network
DHCP server.
See the table for where to find information in this chapter.
(1) From version 21 onwards, RSLogix 5000 is known as Logix Designer.
