Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network 21
Set the Network Address
The adapters ship DHCP-enabled and with the switches set to 999. To change
the network address, do the following.
Set the Network Address for POINT I/O Adapter
• Use the thumbwheel switches located on the adapter.
• 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 thumbwheel switches only when you cycle power to
determine if the switches are set to a valid number. Press either the + or -
buttons to change the number.
Valid settings for the address switches range from 001…254. When the
switches are set to a valid number, the adapter IP address is 192.168.1.xxx
(where xxx represents the number set on the switches). The adapter subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. The adapter
does not have a host name assigned to it or use any Domain Name System.
If the switches are set to an invalid number (such as 000 or a value greater than
254), the adapter checks non-volatile memory 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.
If DHCP is not enabled, the adapter uses the IP address, along with other TCP
configurable parameters, stored in non-volatile memory.
