Configure for EtherNet/IP Network
Before using the 48CR coder reader in an EtherNet/IP network, you must
configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This
chapter describes the following configuration requirements and procedures for
providing them:
• Use the Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility (version 2.3 or
greater) which ships with the Studio 5000® environment or RSLinx®
software. You can also use this utility to reconfigure a device whose IP
address must be changed.
• Use a third-party DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
• Have your network administrator configure the module via the network
server.
The following table lists where to find specific information in this chapter.
Configuration
Requirements
Before you can use your device, you must configure the IP address, subnet mask,
and, optionally, the gateway address. You can use the Rockwell Automation
BootP/DHCP utility (version 2.3 or greater) to perform the configuration. You
can also use a DHCP server or the network address switches to configure these
parameters.
