3.2.4 Configure the IP Address with the Thumbwheel Switches
Before you can connect to the ILX34-AENWG for the first time, you must
configure its IP address.
The simplest way to set the IP address for your initial connection is to use the
thumbwheel switches on the front of the adapter.
The three thumbwheel switches represent the final octet for the private IP
address 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx represents the number set on the switches).
The factory default switch setting is 999. Use the buttons above and below each
number to select a temporary IP address to use. Choose a number between 001
and 254, taking care not to duplicate the IP address of any other device on the
network.
If you set the switches to an invalid number (that is, 000 or a value greater than
254), the adapter checks to see if you enabled DHCP, according to the following
table.
If DHCP is Then the adapter
Enabled
Asks for an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server also assigns
other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters.
Not enabled
Uses the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters)
stored in nonvolatile memory
The updated IP address will take effect when the adapter is powered up.
Important: If you set the thumbwheels on the ILX34-AENWG adapter to the value 888 and then
power cycle the adapter, the following occurs:
 The DHCP Enabled function is enabled (set to True).
 The Ethernet link is negotiated automatically. The Auto Negotiate function is set to True.
 The Web server is enabled.
 The password for this page resets to the factory default of "password".
Make a note of the value of the switches before you change them, so you can restore those values
after resetting the adapter.
