Set the IP Address for the Computer
Your computer requires an Internet Protocol (IP) address to operate on an EtherNet/IP network. The IP address uniquely
identifies the controller and is in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where each xxx is a number from 000…254 with some
exceptions for reserved values.
A computer’s IP address can be set automatically or manually. The manual option is typically used with isolated networks.
This section describes how to set the IP address manually.
For more information on setting an IP address for your CompactLogix 5370 L1 controller, see the CompactLogix 5370
Controllers User Manual, publication 1769-UM021
