Using the Ethernet Port

Assigning Ethernet Address Parameters, Continued

When the

Processor Adapter is Power-up with a Configuration for “Specify IP Address”

If the processor adapter is powered-up without battery backup and its IP address was previously saved to flash; the adapter will listen for any Bootp messages but will not will not issue any Bootp requests. Instead it will use the IP address that is specified in the configuration. Then, three ARP broadcasts are made, five seconds apart, to check for duplicate a IP address. Then, three gratuitous ARP broadcasts are made, two seconds apart, with the station’s MAC address and IP address.

To Retain the IP After setting the module’s IP address, you must save it to flash memory if you want

Addressthis setting to be retained when power is removed from the module. This is necessary even if the module is attached to a ring adapter that provides battery back up. See Saving to Flash with Concept on page 399.
