Configuring an Ethernet (E-Series) Module
This section applies only to Ethernet (E-series) SeaI/O modules. For all other SeaI/O modules, refer to
the Configuring a “Base” SeaI/O Module and Configuring Expansion Modules sections on the previous
pages.
Verify that SeaMAX software has been installed successfully and that an Ethernet SeaI/O module is connected
directly to your computer using the yellow crossover cable supplied with your module. This module will become
the “base” module.
All Ethernet SeaI/O modules are shipped with DHCP enabled. When you first connect an Ethernet SeaI/O module
to the network, the status LEDs on the front of the module will blink while it searches for a DHCP server. Once
it receives an IP address, the status LEDs will remain on.
If no DHCP server is available, the Ethernet SeaI/O module will default to a random IP address in the range
169.254.x.x. To discover the SeaI/O module’s IP address, start the Ethernet Config utility (Start

by clicking the “Apply Changes” button. The module list should refresh, indicating that your changes were
successful.
