2.1 Determine the Best Method for Setting the IP Address
There are three methods for setting the IP address on an NXEE2. Table T2.1 below outlines the available
methods and when you can use them.
Table T2.1 Methods for Setting the IP Address
There is a MAC address label on each NXEE2 which has a writable surface. There is room on
the label for writing the programmed IP address of the unit. It is a best practice to use this label
to document the IP address of the unit in case it is ever repurposed.
In order to conform to the ODVA specification for EtherNet/IP, the NXEE2 also supports the
DHCP protocol. You will need an EtherNet/IP DHCP server, such as the one available from
Rockwell Automation, in order to use this protocol. It is supported, but AMCI encourages you
to use the embedded web server if your company policy prevents you from installing third-
party software, such as the AMCI NET Configurator.
2.2a Use Factory Default Settings
The factory default address for the NXEE2 is 192.168.0.50 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The easiest
way to verify this address is with the ping command as described in the section
https://www.wireshark.org/
) can be used to determine the address of the unit. An FAQ is available on the
AMCI website that gives simple instructions on using wireshark to determine the IP address. At the time of
the manual’s release, a direct link to the FAQ is:

Task Complete
This section is intended for the engineer or technician responsible for setting the
IP address of an AMCI NXEE2.
Method
Restrictions
Section
1) The machine must use 192.168.0.xxx subnet.
2) The 192.168.0.50 address must be available.
No restrictions on use. This is the preferred method.
The internal webserver can be used to set the
NXEE2 to any IPv4 address. The IP address and
protocol will be stored in nonvolatile memory and
used on subsequent power-ups.
No restrictions on use. The software can be used to
set the NXEE2 to any IPv4 address. The IP address
and protocol choice will be stored in nonvolatile
memory and used on subsequent power-ups.
