BOOTP and then set these network address parameters in the adapter.

2. Use the or key to scroll to Port 13, which is the port
always dedicated to the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter.
3. Press the PAR# soft key to display the Jump to Param # entry
pop-up box.
4. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired parameter number, or use
the S or T soft key to scroll to the desired parameter number.

address, subnet mask, and gateway address using adapter
parameters.
Setting an IP Address Using Parameters

parameter must be set to Disabled to configure the IP address using
the adapter parameters.

Addr Cfg 4] to a unique IP address.
