Configuring the Interface Module for

Ethernet Communication

Using This Chapter

Before You Begin

Before configuring channel 3A for Ethernet communication, be

sure to:

• know the Ethernet hardware address (see page 2-2)

• assign an IP address to the module

Because the PLC-5 Ethernet interface module uses the TCP/IP

protocol, each Ethernet hardware address on the network requires a

unique IP address.

The IP address is software-configurable using either the BOOTP

protocol or your programming software package. See the “Manually

Entering Module Configuration Information” section on page 3-2 or

the “Using BOOTP to Enter Configuration Information” section on

page 3-4.

Contact your network administrator or Network Solutions Inc. (the

InterNIC) for a unique IP address to assign to your Ethernet interface

module. You can reach the InterNIC by dialing (703) 742-4777 or by

If the interface module is connected to You must assign

an Ethernet PLC-5 processor two (2) IP addresses:

• one for the PLC-5 processor

• one for the interface module

an Enhanced PLC-5 processor one (1) IP address for the interface module

a ControlNet PLC-5 processor one (1) IP address for the interface module

You must assign a unique IP address for each

Ethernet hardware address.
