Set the Network Address | The adapter ships with the thumbwheel switches set to 999 and DHCP |
| enabled. You can set the network Internet Protocol (IP) address in |
| these ways: |
| • Use the thumbwheel switches located on the module. |
| • Use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such |
| as Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP. |
| • Retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory. |

The adapter reads the thumbwheel switches only when you cycle power to determine if the switches are set to a valid number. Press either the + or - buttons to change the number.
Valid settings range from 001 to 254. When the switches are set to a valid number, the adapter’s IP address will be 192.168.1.xxx (where
xxxrepresents the number set on the switches). The adapter’s subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. The adapter will not have a host name assigned, or use any Domain Name System when using the thumbwheel settings.
If the switches are set to an invalid number (such as 000 or a value greater than 254), the adapter checks to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the adapter requests an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server will also assign other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
If DHCP is not enabled, the adapter will use the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory. The factory default switch setting is 999, and DHCP is enabled.
