If any of the following conditions apply, you should stop the controller, then install the module, then change the default configuration before starting the controller again:
The module will be communicating on an open Ethernet network.
The module’s IP address is already in use.
zThe network uses IEEE 802.3 framing.
You must specify a default Ethernet gateway and subnet mask.
If you change the configuration after installing the module, you must reset the module for your changes to take effect.
You may configure the module using Modsoft or Concept.
2.4Configuring the Module with Modsoft
From the Modsoft Configuration Overview screen, select the Cfg Ext pulldown menu.
Be sure that you have specified sufficient memory resources for the Ethernet configuration extension in the Cfg. Extension Size field. The first Ethernet module configured requires 20 words. Each additional module requires an additional 16 words.
