Setting the IP Address (WAGO BootP Server)

Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide a step-by-step procedure for assigning an IP Address to a WAGO ethernet device. WAGO BootP Server is used to assign an IP Address to the MAC s ID (Media Access Code) of an ethernet buscoupler (750-342) or PFC (750-842). It is necessary to assign an IP Address to an ethernet device in order for it to be accessible to other devices on the network.

Procedure for assigning an IP Address to your WAGO Ethernet Device

1) Launch the WAGO BootP Server. The screen below will appear.

2) Click on Edit Bootptab. The Notepad editor will appear, with a text file similar to the following:

3) The text file shown contains many lines, most of which begin with the symbol. Any line # that begins with a symbol is a comment, and will not be processed. Look at the bottom # line, beginning with the word hamburg. If a gateway address is not going to be used (typical) put a symbol in front of this line. It is not needed. #

4) Next look at the line beginning with the word KeinProxy. KeinProxy is a German term meaning Node Name This word can be changed to any descriptor you desire to identify . your WAGO ethernet IO device (e.g. WAGONode1). The remaining contents of this line need to be modified to set the IP Address of the WAGO ethernet buscoupler or PFC. Look on the right side of the WAGO buscoupler or PFC for the unique Mac ID of the device. Example: MAC ID 0030DE00028A In the KeinProxy line, you will find the characters ha=. is short for hardware address, ha also known as the MAC ID. After ha=, enter the MAC ID of your device. Example: ha=0030DE00028A Also in the KeinProxy Line, you will find the characters ip=, short for IP Address. Fill in the desired IP Address for the WAGO buscoupler or PFC. This will be the IP Address of the device on the network. Example: ip=10.1.254.202 If a Gateway is to be used then fill in: ha= ( MAC ID) : ip= (IP Address): T3= (Gateway Address)

5) When all this data has been entered it must be saved. At the top of the Notepad editor, Click on File Click on Save, to save the text file. (Do not change the file name.)

6) Close the Notepad editor. The WAGO BootP Server is again displayed.

9) Turn power back on to the WAGO buscoupler or PFC. You will see more status messages scroll down, similar to the following screen capture:

10) Verify the status information displayed: Packets were received from an IP Address The Ethernet Address is the same as the MAC ID of the buscoupler The KeinProxy, or node identifier, and IP Address match what was entered in the text file using Notepad

11) Verify the WAGO buscoupler or PFC is operating correctly. Its diagnostic LED should be s illuminated as follows: On Link TxD/RxD Error I/O Green Green Flash as data is Sent/Received Should not be illuminated Green

Your WAGO buscoupler or PFC is now ready for communications on an ethernet network.
