Using BOOTP Lite to Assign Address Parameters

CAUTION

INCORRECT MAC ADDRESS HAZARD

Be sure to verify the MAC address of the target device before invoking BOOTP Lite. If you do not enter the correct parameters of the target controller, it will run in its old configuration. An incorrect MAC address may also result in an unwanted change to another device and cause unexpected results.

Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.

Stopping the

Processor

Instead of a BOOTP server, Schneider Electric’s BOOTP Lite utility software can be used to provide the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway to the processor.

A response from BOOTP Lite will cause the processor to enter Stopped mode on completion of power up, if the processor has been set to “Specify IP Address” mode via Concept. This is useful when inappropriate outbound network traffic might result if the processor immediately transitioned into Run mode after power up.

Refer to the BOOTP Lite user documentation for instructions.

Note: BOOTP Lite and the user document are available for download at www.modicon.com.
