Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter with RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer Software
Set the
Network Address
The adapters ship DHCP-enabled and with the pen-push Network address
thumbwheels set to 999. You can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address
as follows.
Set the Network Address for POINT I/O Adapters
• Use the pen-push thumbwheels located on the adapter. Press either the +
or - button with a pen tip to change the number and assign the IP address.
• Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as
Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP.
• Retrieve the IP address from non-volatile memory.
The adapter reads the thumbwheels first to determine if the thumbwheels are set
to a valid number. You set the node address by using the 3-position pen-push
thumbwheel using a pen tip.
Note: Press a pen tip into the center and perpendicular to the + or the - button to
change the number. You only need a small amount of force to press the button
(approximately 2N).
Valid settings range from 001…254. When you use the thumbwheel to assign an
address and set it to 001, the adapter gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. and the
subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0. When you use the thumbwheel to assign an
IP address between 002...254, the adapter gateway address is set to 192.168.1.1.
The adapter does not have a host name assigned, or use any Domain Name
System when using the thumbwheel settings.
If the thumbwheels are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value
greater than 254 excluding 888), 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.
