Configuration Mode: This currently defaults to TCP/IP. If your Ethernet Interface PROM version is 1.15 or earlier, or if its TCP/IP software is version 1.28 or earlier, you must use
Status Address: The Status Address is the location of the LAN Interface Status (LIS) bits (16 bits) and the Channel Status bits (64 bits). The Channel Status bits are always located immediately following the LAN Interface Status bits.
Note
Do not use the 80 bits assigned to the LIS bits and Channel Status bits for other purposes or your data will be overwritten.
Status Length: For TCP/TP configuration mode, this is fixed at 80 bits (the sum of the LIS bits and the Channel Status bits).
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address, and Name Server IP Address: The values for the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address should be assigned by the person in charge of your network (the network administrator). TCP/IP network administrators are familiar with these parameters. It is important that these parameters are correct, other- wise the Ethernet Interface may be unable to communicate on the network and/or net- work operation may be corrupted. It is especially important that each node on the net- work is assigned a unique IP address.
However, if you have no network administrator and a simple isolated network with no gateways, you can use the following range of values for the assignment of local IP ad- dresses:
3.0.0.1First PLC
3.0.0.2Second PLC
3.0.0.3Third PLC
. | . |
. | . |
. | . |
3.0.0.255 | Logicmaster TCP or host |
Also, on an isolated network, the Subnet Mask, Gateway IP address, and Name Server IP address can all be 0.0.0.0. (The Name Server IP address is not currently used and is reserved for future use.)
Note
If the isolated network is ever connected to another network, the IP addresses3.0.0.1through 3.0.0.255 must not be used and the Subnet Mask and Gateway IP address must be assigned by the Network Administrator. The IP addresses must be assigned so that they are compatible with the connected network. Refer to Appendix C for more information on addressing.
