Starting up ETHERNET TCP/IP fieldbus nodes
Modular I/O System
ETHERNET TCP/IP
The following describes how to allocate the IP address for the fieldbus node
using the WAGO BootP server by way of an example. You can download a
free copy from WAGO over the Internet under:
http://www.wago.com/wagoweb/usa/eng/support/downloads/index.htm.
Note
The IP address can be allocated under other operating systems (i.e. under Li-
nux) as well as with any other BootP servers.
Attention
The IP address can be allocated in a direct connection via a crossover cable or
via a parallel cable and a hub. An allocation over a switch is not possible.
