224 Connecting to Networks via Ethernet Interface
Using the Rockwell BOOTP/DHCP Utility
The Rockwell BOOTP/DHCP server 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
RSLogix 500 installation CD.
The newest version of the utility can be downloaded from
www.ab.com/networks/bootp/index.html
. The device must have BOOTP
enabled (factory default) or DHCP enabled to use the utility.
To configure your device using the BOOTP utility, perform the following
steps.
1. Run the BOOTP/DHCP server utility software. It will ask you to
configure your network settings before using the BOOTP/DHCP
server tool. Enter your Ethernet settings for Subnet Mask and Gateway.
If you are not sure about it, get a help from your system administrator.
Just leave Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain Name (If
corresponding information is allocated to the PC where
BOOTP/DHCP server utility is installed, enter the same information.)
