13.2.1 Ethernet Network Configuration
The Ethernet connection allows for the setting of the MPA’s IP Address, Default Gateway Address and Subnet Mask.
The IP Address can only be set statically using the MPA configuration menu. Dynamic address configuration
protocols such as DHCP or BOOTP cannot be used.
Both the IP address and the default gateway are set using four individual parameters; one for each byte of the
address. The subnet mask is set as a single number between 0 and 32. This number is the number of bits used in
the subnet mask.
Example configuration:
IP Address:
192.168.10.25
Default Gateway: 192.168.11.254
Subnet Mask:
255.255.0.0

13.2.2 EtherNet/IP Settings
The MPA provides process data to the originator of an EtherNet/IP connection using I/O messaging. The connection
can be established by creating a generic Ethernet Module and setting the following parameters:
