3.1.2
Assigning IP parameters at the LAN interface
(port 2 to port 8)
By default upon delivery, the NAT router starts without an IP configuration at the LAN port.
It sends BootP requests cyclically, which are answered by a BootP server with a
corresponding BootP reply.
The “IPAssign.exe” addressing tool, which is available free of charge, can be used to assign
the IP parameters (see “IP address assignment using IPAssign.exe” on page 3-2).
3.1.3
IP address assignment using IPAssign.exe
Step 1: downloading and executing the program
•
On the Internet, select the link
www.phoenixcontact.net/catalog
•
Enter the order number 2832700 in the search field, for example.
The IP addressing tool can be found under “Configuration file”.
•
Double-click on the “IPAssign.exe” file.
•
In the window that opens, click on “Run”.
Step 2: “IP Assignment Wizard”
The program opens and the start screen of the addressing tool appears.
The program is mostly in English for international purposes. However, the program buttons
change according to the country-specific settings.
The start screen displays the IP address of the PC. This helps when addressing the device
in the following steps.
•
Click on “Next”.
Step 3: “IP Address Request Listener”
All devices sending a BootP request are listed in the window which opens. These devices
are waiting for a new IP address.
