A-B 1747-AENTR Install Your Adapter SLC 500 EtherNet/IP Adapter

The network address switches are set to 999 and DHCP enabled, by default.

You can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address in the following ways:

• Use the network address switches on the module.

• Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as

Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP.

• Retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory.

The adapter reads the network address switches first to determine if the

switches are set to a valid number. You set the node address by using the

network address switches. Valid settings range from 001…254.

When the switches are set to a valid number, the adapter’s IP address is

192.168.1.xxx (where xxx represents the number set on the switches).

The adapter’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to

0.0.0.0. The adapter does not have a host name assigned, or use any Domain

Name System when using the network address switch settings.

If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater

than 254 excluding 888), the adapter checks to see if DHCP is enabled. Setting

the switches to 888 restores default factory settings.

IMPORTANT If you set the value of the adapter switch to 888 and then power cycle

the module, the following occurs:

• The DHCP Enabled function is enabled (set to True).

• The Ethernet link is negotiated automatically. The Auto Negotiate

function is set to True.

• The web server is enabled. The Disabled Web Server function is

disabled.

• The Ethernet ports are disabled. Both ports are re-enabled once the

switches are returned to their previous value and power is cycled.
