Using BOOTP By default, the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter is configured to set its IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address by using a BOOTP utility.
You can select from a variety of BOOTP utilities. These instructions use
Rockwell’s BOOTP Server (version 2.3 or higher), a stand-alone
program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP utilities
with a graphical interface. It is available from
www.ab.com/networks/
bootp.html . Refer to the Readme file and online Help for detailed
directions and information.
Configuring the Adapter Using BOOTP Server
1. Verify and note the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC),
which will be used in Step 6. There are two ways to do this:
– Use the HIM to scroll to Port 13 and access the embedded
EtherNet/IP adapter’s DIAGNOSTIC folder screen. Then scroll
to Diagnostic Items 43 (HW Addr 1) through 48 (HW Addr 6) to
view the adapter’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC).
– Remove the drive cover and locate the adapter’s hardware
Ethernet Address (MAC) label on the drive’s Main Control
Board (
Figure 3.1 ).

2. On a computer connected to the EtherNet/IP network, start the
BOOTP software. The BOOTP Server window ( Figure 3.2 ) appears.
TIP: If desired, you can disable BOOTP and configure the IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address by setting adapter parameters. For
details, see
Setting the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
Address on page 3-5 .
