By default, the module is setup to use
Static IP Addressing and a Static IP
Address of 128.1.1.100
. You can optionally choose to have the IP address
assigned dynamically via DHCP/BOOTP or DHCP/BOOTP w/Fallbacks.
This will also require that you specify a valid Host Name. Note that
DHCP/BOOTP w/Fallback will revert to the static IP address if your DHCP or
BOOTP server cannot be found at the address specified.
In general, BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) refers to an internet protocol that
enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP address, the address of
a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot
the machine. This enables the workstation or device server to boot without
requiring a hard or floppy disk drive. BOOTP works similar to DHCP, but is
usually found in older systems. This protocol is defined by RFC 951.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) refers to a protocol for
assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic
addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects
to the network. In some systems, it can even change while it is still
connected. DHCP also supports a combination of static and dynamic IP
addresses. DHCP/BOOTP with fallback will revert to static IP addressing if
the DHCP or BOOTP server cannot be found.
The unit includes a default address toggle switch to cause the module to
assume a preset default factory address. This switch is at the front of the
module and is used to toggle the module into, or out of Default Mode. If you
use the toggle switch at the front of the module to place the module in
default mode, then “Default Communications Mode” will be indicated at the
bottom of this screen.

Click the
Wink On/Off
button to toggle the module in/out of “wink” ID mode.
In this
mode, the module’s green RUN LED will blink to confirm identification
as an aide to locating a specific module on a network.
Refer to the Technical Reference section of this manual to learn more about
IP Addressing terms and concepts.

Network Configuration
The Default Communication
Mode uses a static IP address
of “128.1.1.100”, a default
subnet mask of
“255.255.255.0”, a default
username of “User”, and a
default password of
“password00”.
