Configuring the Ethernet Port
Ethernet Port Configuration Tools
The following tools are necessary for configuring the MS-Connect 210’s Ethernet Port:
• BOOTP Server — The Ethernet Port initially powers on and attempts to obtain an IP
address using BOOTP. If no BOOTP server responds, the Ethernet Port will revert to a
default IP address.
Note: To configure an IP address using a PC as a DHCP/BOOTP server, download the
free Allen-Bradley DHCP/BOOTP Utility from this location:

• EtherNet/IP Messaging Tool — This can be a PLC or software tool, and must be capable
of establishing an explicit messaging connection and sending Get_Attribute_Single and
Set_Attribute_Single EtherNet/IP explicit messages.
• Microscan’s ESP Software or Telnet communication software for configuration.
• DeviceInstaller — This firmware is compatible with the Lantronix DeviceInstaller tool for
device discovery (Search) and Telnet. DeviceInstaller may be used instead of ESP or
Telnet for configuration purposes.
Note: Lantronix also offers a COM Port Redirector for applications that require data to
be sent over an Ethernet network using TCP/IP instead of the local port. The COM Port
Redirector can be downloaded from this location:

• A terminal emulation or serial communication tool such as HyperTerminal or ESP.
• TFTP client software — Required to upload new firmware.
