13-24 SLC Communication Channels
There are two ways to configure the SLC 5/05 Ethernet channel 1. The
configuration can be done via a BOOTP or DHCP request at processor
powerup, or by manually setting the configuration parameters using RSLogix
500 Programming Software (refer to Configuring Channel 1 for Ethernet).
Configuring Channel 1 for Ethernet
To configure and SLC 5/05 processor channel 1 for Ethernet, do the
following using your programming software:
IMPORTANT
The SLC 5/05 processor contains an RJ45 Ethernet
connector which connects to standard Ethernet switches via
8-wire twisted pair straight-through cable. To access other
Ethernet mediums, use RJ45 media converters or Ethernet
switches that can be connected together via fiber, thin-wire,
or thick-wire coaxial cables, or any other physical media
commercially available with Ethernet switches.
