3.6 MAC address and IP address
Wachendorff EtherNet/IP encoders have three MAC addresses. These always start
with D4-90-E0-xx-xx-xx. The number depends on the number of ports on the integrated
three-port switch. There is one MAC address each for Port1 and Port2, as well as one
MAC address for the "internal port" to which the encoder itself is connected.
In the delivered state, the EtherNet/IP encoder is in DHCP mode and has the name
“WDGA-EP”. If you want to assign a static IP adress then you can define this in your
project (e.g. Studio 5000) during project planning.
