5 Device Configuration5.1 Configuration OverviewThe EtherNet/IP Module is configured with a static IPaddress as default. To avoid IP address conflict and toensure successful employment, connect the moduledirectly to a PC or laptop to configure the IP addressbefore connecting to the network. To configure the IPaddress, or to enable BootP or DHCP addressing, use theon-board web server.NOTICEThe error LED flashes whenever the device is receivingpower but is not connected to a network. The error LEDflashes throughout the configuration process.5.2 On-board Web ServerEthernet attributes can be configured directly in theEtherNet/IP Module using the on-board web server.NOTICEThe web server only accepts connections from within thesame subnet domain.To configure the device using the on-board web server:1. Attach the module to a soft starter.2. Connect Ethernet port 1 or port 2 on the moduleto the network.3. Apply control power to the soft starter.4. Start a browser on the PC and enter the deviceaddress, followed by /ipconfig. The defaultaddress for a new EtherNet/IP Module is192.168.1.2.177HA640.11Illustration 5.1 Entering Network Settings5. Edit the settings as required.6. Click Submit to save the new settings.7. If prompted, enter username and password.7a Username: danfoss7b Password: danfossNOTICEIf an IP address is changed and its record is lost, use theEthernet Device Configuration Tool to scan the networkand identify the module.NOTICEIf changing the subnet mask, the server is unable tocommunicate with the module after the new settings aresaved.5.3 Ethernet Device Configuration ToolIf the IP address is unknown, or if the subnet mask of theweb server does not match, use the Ethernet DeviceConfiguration Tool to connect to the EtherNet/IP Module.Changes made via the Ethernet Device Configuration Toolcannot be stored permanently in the module and are lostwhen control power is cycled. Use the Ethernet DeviceConfiguration Tool to change the IP address settingstemporarily. After that, use the new address to connect tothe module using the on-board web server to save thesettings permanently.Download the Ethernet Device Configuration Tool. Toinstall the software, administrator privileges are requiredon the PC.Downloading the tool:1. Go to drives.danfoss.com/downloads/pc-tools/ tofind the tool.2. Make sure to have administrator privileges on thePC before starting the installation.3. Accept the End-User License Agreement.4. Click Yes on the User account control dialog box.NOTICEIf the PC has a firewall enabled, add the tool to the listof authorized programs.Device Configuration EtherNet/IP Module10 Danfoss A/S © 05/2017 All rights reserved.
