Booting Up Out of the Box

Connecting to an Adapter the First Time
The following paragraphs describe the process of taking a new Momentum 170ENT11001 out of the box and making it work.
The Momentum 170ENT11001 is an Ethernet communication adapter. All Ethernet devices are assigned a unique MAC address.Therefore, each Momentum 170ENT11001 is assigned a unique MAC address at the Schneider Electric factory.
Generally, Ethernet devices are addressed by an IP address. Therefore, in order to operate in a local network, the device needs an IP address. In the out-of-the-box state, when power is applied to the Momentum 170ENT11001, the device obtains an IP address from one of the following:
  1. BOOTP/DHCP server serving an IP address
  2. default IP address (derived from MAC address)
Using a BOOTP/DHCP Server
Do the following:
Step
Action
1
You must enter the MAC address and IP address of your Momentum 170ENT11001 into the Address Table of the BOOTP or DHCP server.
2
Power up Momentum 170ENT11001.
Note: Device may take up to 60 seconds to boot up.
3
If no IP address is received from the server, wait an additional 30 seconds. The Momentum 170ENT11001 will use its default IP address, and I/Os are not operational.
Using a Default IP Address
Do the following:
Step
Action
1
Power up Momentum 170ENT11001.
Note: Device may take up to 90 seconds to boot up, and I/Os are not operational.
NOTE: See the appendix for deriving an IP address from a MAC address . It may be necessary to add a route to your personal computer (PC) in order to communicate with the device.
In the out-of-the-box state, after obtaining an IP address by BOOTP/DHCP, the device has a default set of runtime parameters, and the I/Os are operational. If you are using the default IP parameters, the device does not have default runtime parameters, and the I/Os are not operational.
The runtime parameters are the (1) communication adapter parameters, (2) SNMP configuration parameters, and (3) security configuration parameters. You should configure both the IP and runtime parameters for your needs. Configuring is discussed later.
What’s Next
After you have connected to a device out of the box, you need to configure the device for use in your system.
You should configure both the IP and runtime parameters for your needs. Configuring is discussed later.
You may configure a device to use FDR, a BOOTP server, or a stored IP address.
