3-8Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network

Use the Rockwell BootP/DHCP Utility

The Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility is a stand alone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BootP software with a user friendly graphical interface. It is located in the Utils directory on the RSLogix5000 installation CD. The 1734-AENT adapter must have DHCP enabled (factory default and the network address switches set to an illegal value) to use the utility.

To configure your adapter using the BootP utility, perform the following steps:

1.Run the BootP software.

In the BOOTP Request History panel you see the hardware addresses of devices issuing BootP requests.

2.Double-click the hardware address of the device you want to configure.

You see the New Entry dialog with the device’s Ethernet Address (MAC).
