Installing and Configuring the Module
2.4.3Assigning the IP Network Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) network address is a
If the module will be communicating on an open network or if the module’s derived IP address is already being used, consult your network administrator to obtain a unique address. Type the new address in fields B4 through B1.
A space is provided for recording the IP network address on the label inside the front door panel.
If you input the address before installing the module or if you hot swap the module, it will automatically recognize the address you have already specified and will identify itself accordingly.
CAUTION
DUPLICATE ADDRESS HAZARD
Be sure to register the module’s IP network address with your system administrator to avoid duplication.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.
Note: If you are using the configuration extension to change the IP network address, you also must input the backplane slot number. Without the slot number, the system will not recognize your changes.
2.4.4Assigning the Default Gateway Address and Subnet Mask
Consult your network administrator to determine whether you need to specify a default gateway address and subnet mask. If this data is required, the network administrator should supply it. Input the gateway address in fields G4 through G1. Input the subnet mask at the bottom of the screen.
Note: If you are using the configuration extension to assign a gateway address and subnet mask, remember to input a slot number as well. The slot number is required to activate the configuration extension.
2.4.5Resetting the Module
If you change the default configuration after installing the module, you must reset the module for your changes to take effect. The module may be reset through a command in the MSTR block in Modsoft(page 37), by cycling power or by lifting the module off the backplane and then setting it back in its slot.
