Configure the Adapter with RSLogix 5000 or Logix Designer Software Chapter 3
If DHCP is not enabled, the adapter uses the IP address, along with other TCP
configurable parameters, stored in non-volatile memory.
Use the Rockwell BootP/
DHCP Utility
The 1734-AENT/B adapter should be configured using only DHCP. The
Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that incorporates the
functionality of standard BootP software with a user-friendly graphical interface.
It is located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix5000 software installation CD.
The adapter must have DHCP enabled (factory default and the network address
switches set to an invalid value) to use the utility.
To configure your adapter using the BootP utility, perform the following steps:
1. Run the BootP software.
In the BOOTP Request History panel you see the hardware addresses of
devices issuing BootP requests.
WARNING: When you change thumbwheels settings while power is
on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in
hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
