Configure an EtherNet/IP Communication Module   Chapter 3
Set the Network IP Address 
on a Module
You can use the following tools to set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address.
• Rotary switches - If the network uses 192.168.1.x, we recommend using 
the rotary switches to set the last octet of network IP address. 
Valid numbers range from 001…254. The switches are only for setting 
192.168.1.xxx IP addresses.
Switch changes are recognized only at module power-up.
For more information, see the 5069 Compact I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter 
Installation Instructions, publication 
5069-IN003.
• BOOTP/DHCP server
For more information, see 
Set the Network IP Address with the BOOTP/
DHCP Server on page 28.
• RSLinx® Classic software
For more information, see 
Configure the Adapter with RSLinx Classic 
Software through the USB Port on page 32.
EtherNet/IP communication modules are shipped with this configuration:
• BOOTP/DHCP enabled
• Rotary switches set to 000 - when applicable
WARNING: When you change switch 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.
