Introduction

Use these instructions to configure the IP address parameters for a BMENOR2200H module. There are two different IP addresses that can be assigned to the module. The IP address of backplane port is configured by Control Expert, and that of control ports is configured by DTM.

Configure IP Address for Backplane Ethernet Port

Access the IP address configuration in Control Expert:

Step

Action

1

Open a Control Expert project that includes a BMENOR2200H module.

2

Double-click the BMENOR2200H module to see the Configuration tab.

3

Configure these parameters:

  • IP Address: Enter the IP address of the module.

  • Subnet Mask: Enter a subnet mask that corresponds to the IP address.

  • Default Gateway: This is the IP address of the gateway to which messages for other networks are transmitted.

4

  • Click the Apply button to implement your configuration changes.

  • Click the OK button to implement your changes and close the dialog box.

Configure IP Address for Control Ports

Two control ports share a same IP address. The IP address should be configured manually in the DTM. For details, you can refer to Control Ports Configuration.

Limitations

The BMENOR2200H module uses the FDR client basic service to get IP parameters from the controller.

NOTE:

  • This module does not support DHCP or BOOTP.

  • This module does not locally store static IP parameters.

  • For details, refer to the description of the FDR client service configuration.
