Address assignment
3.5.3 Address setting via the rotary-mode
switch position: 001 - 254
When using the rotary-mode, the last byte of the station’s IP address can be set via the rotary coding
switches.
Addresses in the range from 0 to 255 can be allocated, whereas 1 is normally reserved for the default-
gateway. 0 and 255 are reserved for broadcast messages in the subnet.
3.5.4 Address setting via the mode BootP
switch position: 300
Address setting is carried out by a BootP-server in the network after the start-up of the gateway.
PROFINET
Please assure, that in PROFINET -applications, the address assigned via a BootP-server corresponds to
the address, which is assigned in the configuration tool.
Note
We therefore recommend addresses in the range of 2-254.
Note
The IP address, as well as the default subnet mask assigned to the station by the BootP-server,
are stored in the station’s EEPROM.
If the station is subsequently switched to rotary- or PGM-mode, the settings carried out via
BootP (IP address, subnet mask, etc) will be read from the module’s EEPROM.
