Before recovery begins, make certain that the PC and eI/O module are on the same network segment –
they should be connected directly using the included Ethernet cable (blue or yellow), through a hub, or
through a non-routing switch. The PoE series of eI/O modules ship with an Ethernet patch cable (blue). The
other eI/O models ship with a crossover cable (yellow). If the correct type of cable is used, most PC network
cards should support a direct connection with the eI/O module.
Next, select the IP Address of the network card your eI/O module is connected to from the dropdown
labeled “Network Interface.”
If IP address of that network card should be in the same subnet with (but not identical to) the IP
address that the reset will give the eI/O module. If this is untrue, or the IP address of the network
card is within one number of the eI/O modules’s current IP address, reconfigure the card to another
IP address before you proceed. Once the card is reconfigured, click “Cancel” in the reset window and
click “Recover Module” again. You can now select the card’s new IP address under “Network
Interface”. After the module is configured, you can restore the network card to its original IP address.
Enter the MAC address found on the label on the bottom of the eI/O enclosure. A MAC address is made up
of six pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by dashes (i.e., xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx). The label on your device may
or may not include the dashes. While entering the MAC address, the indicator to the right of the field will
turn red if the MAC address entered is invalid. Once a MAC address is successfully entered, the indicator
light will turn green, and the “Network Settings” options will be enabled.
Contact your network administrator if you are unsure of the proper network settings to choose. If a DHCP
server is available, select the “Enable DHCP Configuration” checkbox. Otherwise, complete the network
settings and click the “Recover Module” button to complete the configuration changes.
