Configure the EtherNet/IP Network
In this chapter, you assign IP addresses to devices on an EtherNet/IP network.
Before You Begin
• Prepare the computer, see Chapter 2
• Install all hardware, see Chapters 1–6
If you connect all of the devices, including the computer, through an Ethernet switch,
you can create an isolated network. This chapter assumes you are using an isolated
network. If you are not, contact your network administrator to obtain IP addresses.
• Verify that power is applied to all devices.
What You Need
• The computer needs a Network Interface Card (NIC) and its associated Windows driver
installed (the NIC and driver are standard on most computers).
• BOOTP/DHCP utility, such as the one that ships on the RSLogix 5000 programming
software CD.
• An Ethernet Address (MAC) for each device. You recorded these addresses in the
Network Worksheet
on the back cover.
• An IP Address for each device. If you are on an non-isolated network, obtain these
addressed from your network administrator. If you are on an isolated network,
determine a numbering convention for your IP addresses. Record these addresses in the
Network Worksheet on the backcover.
• You do not need to assign an IP address to the PanelView Plus terminal, it was already
assigned in Chapter 6
