ENI Configuration (Node 248 to 254) 4-5
Controller Messaging
When using this method, a write message is used to configure the
TCP/IP configuration parameters. A CIF write message is initiated to
the controller. CIF stands for Common Interface File and is supported
by all Allen-Bradley programmable controllers that have an RS-232
port.
The first item to configure is the ENI’s IP address on your network.
See the following section, Configuring ENI Data Parameters, for that
configuration procedure.
The configuration parameters are described in more detail later in this
chapter.
IMPORTANT
The IP addresses in any of the examples in this
manual were arbitrarily assigned and should only be
used on an isolated Ethernet network. Contact your
system administrator for unique IP addresses if you
are connecting your Ethernet devices to your
employer’s Ethernet network.
