Setting the IP Address
Key items to remember when setting the IP address on the VersaMax Micro Ethernet module (IC200UEM001):
•The default IP address is 10.10.0.5.
•IP address setting must be saved to the Flash on the Ethernet module or it will be lost during power
cycle.
•The second port of the Micro PLC must be configured for Ethernet.
Setting the Permanent IP Address
1. Go to C:/ Prompt on your computer and type: Ping [IP address] and press the Enter key. (This step
is required to “establish” the ARP table by creating an entry in the table.) The address pinged should
reply with Pinged data. (example c:/ Ping 10.10.0.5 and return data)
2. Type: arp –a(space between p and –a). You should see at least one entry in the ARP table. (example
c:/ arp –a)
3. Type: arp –s [IP address, including dots] [MAC Address of the Ethernet module, including dashes]. You
will not see any reply on the screen. (example c:/ arp –s 10.10.0.5 00-20-4a-ff-ff-e9)
4. Type: telnet [IP address] 1 (leave space between IP address and 1) and press the Enter key. You will
be prompted that the connection failed. This is normal. (example c:/ telnet 10.10.0.5 1)
5. Type: telnet [IP address] 9999 (leave space between IP address and 9999) and press the Enter key.
You will be prompted to Press Enter to go into Setup Mode. You have two seconds to press the
Enter key again. If you get the message “Connection to host lost”, re-enter telnet [IP address] and
press the Enter key twice to get to the setup screen. (example c:/ telnet 10.10.0.5 9999)
6. Press 1 to change IP address (Enter the desired IP address) and Net Mask
7. Press 2 to change Serial Settings. For best performance, set the baud rate to 175000. Setting should
be Mode#1, RS232 175000, 8, 0, 1. Port 2 needs to be configured with PAC Machine Edition to
match these settings. Machine Edition should configure Port 2 for Ethernet and baud rate of
175000.
When complete, press Sto save to the Ethernet module. You will see a prompt that informs you Parameters
saved, Display will Restart…. and then Connection to host lost. The data is now stored in the internal Flash
of the IC200UEM001. You can change the settings by repeating the above steps.
Settings are now complete. Verify that Port 2 matches above configuration by connecting to the Micro PLC
serial port and checking hardware configuration.
