Every device connected to an Ethernet network has two
identifiers. a MAC address and an IP address. The MAC
address (address format. 00.D0.AF.xx.yy.zz) is unique to
the appliance and cannot be changed. The EtherNet/IP
board’s MAC address can be found on the sticker attached
to the board. Please find the software installation at
www.Eaton.com/drives.
In a local network, IP addresses are determined by the
network server using DHCP protocol. The user can also
manually define the network address for the PowerXL as
long as all units connected to the network are given the
same network portion of the address. For more information
about IP addresses, contact your network administrator.
Overlapping IP addresses can cause conflicts between
appliances. For more information about setting IP addresses,
see “Manual IP Address Configuration” on
Page 21.
