Aent Procedures Steps

This is the procedure we used on a project I just finished Setup of 1794-AENT IP Address 1. Disable all unused PC NIC ports 2. Set PC NIC port IP configuration to “Obtain an IP address automatically” 3. If the AENT module already has an IP address but it needs to be reset, power off the AENT, set the rotary dip switches to 888 and switch on AENT again. The Module Status LED will slowly flash RED when factory reset is complete. Power OFF again. Set switches back to 999 and power on again. 4. Note AENT MAC address. 5. Open BOOTP application (If BOOTP does not want to open because the PC NIC does not have an IP address yet, manually assign any IP address, start BOOTP and then repeat step 2) 6. Under, Menu, “Tools”, “Network Settings”, change the Subnet to 255.0.0.0 7. BOOTP should now scan the network for this device. If nothing happens, change the PC NIC port IP address to the same network range as what the AENT will be set to. Subnet 255.0.0.0

This is the procedure we used on a project I just finished

Setup of 1794-AENT IP Address

1. Disable all unused PC NIC ports

2. Set PC NIC port IP configuration to “Obtain an IP address automatically”

3. If the AENT module already has an IP address but it needs to be reset, power off the AENT, set the rotary dip switches to 888 and switch on AENT again. The Module Status LED will slowly flash RED when factory reset is complete. Power OFF again. Set switches back to 999 and power on again.

4. Note AENT MAC address.

5. Open BOOTP application (If BOOTP does not want to open because the PC NIC does not have an IP address yet, manually assign any IP address, start BOOTP and then repeat step 2)

6. Under, Menu, “Tools”, “Network Settings”, change the Subnet to 255.0.0.0

7. BOOTP should now scan the network for this device. If nothing happens, change the PC NIC port IP address to the same network range as what the AENT will be set to. Subnet 255.0.0.0

8. BOOTP should pick up something by now.

9. If found, cycle power on the AENT to ensure that the network is in tact.

10. Clear the History on the BOOTP “Request History” window.

11. BOOTP should resolve the MAC as soon as it comes back online again.

12. Select and Click the AENT MAC address. This should now be shown in the “Resolution window” below the “Request History” window.

13. Double click on the MAC.

14. Enter the desired IP address.

15. Select and then click the [Disable BOOTP/DHCP] button. The MAC must be selected before this button can be presses, and chances are very good that you will need to repeat this process a few times. Just keep at it, it will resolve.

16. The Status feedback right at the bottom of the BOOTP application will read as follow:[DISABLE BOOTP] Command Successful

17. Close the BOOTP application

18. Reset the PC NIC adapter Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0

19. Start RSLinx (This step is important) BOOTP DOES NOT DISABLE THE BOOTP AND YOU NEED TO FIX THAT ERROR WITH RSLINX SETUP

20. Scan the network (RSWho) for this newly configured AENT. (Ensure you have the correct RSLinx driver. Check under “Configure Drives” The IP of the NIC will be shown)
