The following describes how to allocate the IP address for a fieldbus node
using the WAGO BootP server by way of an example.
You can download a free copy of the WAGO’s BootP server over the Internet
under at http://www.wago.com/-
“Service“/“Downloads“/“Software“/“ELECTRONICC“/-
‘WAGO BootPServer V1.0 Windows 95/NT - ZIP Archiv‘.
Note
The IP address can be allocated under other operating systems (e.g. under
Linux) 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.
