5.2 Setting the IP address parameter on the device
5.2.1 Initial startup
The DHCP protocol is activated on the device in the factory. The IP address paramet-
ers are therefore expected from a DHCP server.
INFORMATION
There is a free DHCP server with the designation "BOOTP Utility" available on the
Rockwell Automation homepage.
5.2.2 Changing the IP address parameters after successful initial startup
If the device was started using a valid IP address, you can also access the IP address
parameters via the Ethernet interface.
You can change the IP address parameters via the Ethernet interface by one of the
following methods:
• Using the Engineering software MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio
• Using the TCP/IP interface object from EtherNet/IP™(→283)
• Using the Address Editor from SEW‑EURODRIVE (→2145)
• Other interfaces of the device
If the IP address parameters have been assigned to the unit via a DHCP server, you
can only change the parameters by adjusting the settings of the DHCP server.
INFORMATION
The following applies to all other types of changing the IP address parameters: The
change only becomes effective if you switch the supply voltage (including DC 24V)
off and on again.
