Configuring the modules (cont.)
3. Click the module you want to configure. The Setting tab for the module appears in the module information pane. This tab includes
the module’s MAC ID and Ethernet configuration settings (Figure 3).
Configure the settings:
• IP Address. Enter a unique IP address for the module. Refer to your PC IP address for the available address range. For
example, if your PC IP address is 192.168.1.2 as shown above, set the module IP address to 192.168.1.3 or higher. In the
illustration above, the IP address 192.168.1.10 is used for the module.
• Subnet Mask. Enter “255.255.255.0”.
• Default Gateway. Enter the Wi-Fi router’s IP address.
• DHCP. Big Ass Solutions recommends leaving DHCP disabled. If the router or switch being used reassigns IP addresses to
connected devices, the BAFWorks
®
application will lose communication with the devices. Alternatively, DHCP can be enabled.
This allows the router to assign an IP address to each module, but requires you to set up IP address reservations during router
configuration. Regardless of other connected device states, this will apply the same IP address to the module. This is based on
the module’s MAC ID, which must be known for this procedure to be completed properly.
4. Click Apply . The module will reboot and a “Network change success!” message will appear. Click OK . Note that the module’s new IP
address now appears in the tree below the PC IP address, and the name of the module appears below its IP address (Figure 4).
If you are configuring an ADAM 6117 input module, proceed to step 5. If you are configuring an ADAM 6160 relay output module,
proceed to step 6.
