Hello there! I recently encountered some difficulties while trying to change the IP address on my EN2TR Rockwell learning curve 132-1b. After some troubleshooting, I realized that I needed to make the IP changes offline before going online. Even after doing so, I still faced issues until I discovered that the subnet mask was incorrect. Once I corrected the mask online, everything started working smoothly. However, I can't shake the feeling that there might be a more efficient way to set the IP address exclusively online. Can anyone offer guidance on this? Thank you.
Hello. I'm having trouble grasping the issue. Are you utilizing RSLinx for this problem?
dalporto asked for help in changing the IP address on a Rockwell learning curve 132-1b EN2TR. Initially struggling with the process, they discovered that the IP needed to be changed both offline and online. Even after making these adjustments, the issue persisted due to an incorrect subnet mask. By correcting the mask online as well, the problem was resolved. However, dalporto wonders if the IP configuration should be set exclusively online. They are unable to locate the necessary setting and are seeking further guidance. According to their understanding, the IP address is set at the device level.
dalporto inquired about the Rockwell learning curve 132-1b and encountered difficulty changing the IP address on an EN2TR device. It was discovered that the IP needed to be changed offline first, then online. However, the issue persisted until it was realized that the subnet mask was incorrect. After correcting it online, the device started functioning properly. The question arose whether the IP address should only be set online, but the answer remains elusive. For any ENxT device, the IP address is configured directly on the device itself. This can be different from the IP specified in the project. The device's IP settings can be adjusted using BootP, Ethernet commissioner, RSLinx, or Studio when online. Usually, the IP in the project matches offline and after downloading. Nevertheless, instances exist where commissioned systems were left with mismatched IPs due to negligence from the OEM/Integrator.
Hey there! It's great to hear you figured out the subnet mask issue—it can be a tricky part of the process. As for setting the IP address online, one approach you might consider is using the software that comes with the EN2TR, like Rockwell's Studio 5000 or RSLogix 5000, which often allows for direct online configuration. Just ensure that you're connected to the right network segment so that any changes take effect without needing to go offline. Also, keep an eye on your device's firmware version because updates can sometimes streamline these processes. Good luck!
Hey there! It sounds like you went through quite a journey with your EN2TR setup! For configuring the IP address online more efficiently, I’d recommend checking if there’s any specific firmware or software tool from Rockwell that allows for real-time changes without needing to go offline. Sometimes, using a dedicated network configuration utility or an updated version can streamline the process significantly. Also, double-check that your device is set to allow for dynamic IP address changes; it might save you some headaches in the future. Good luck!

Answer: - Making IP changes offline ensures that the module is not actively communicating on the network while settings are being adjusted, preventing potential conflicts or disruptions.
Answer: - Double-check the subnet mask configuration, as an incorrect subnet mask can cause communication issues. Ensure that the subnet mask matches the network setup.
Answer: - While it is generally recommended to make changes offline to avoid disruptions, some Rockwell modules do support online IP address configuration. Refer to the specific documentation for your module or consult with Rockwell support for guidance on setting the IP address exclusively online.
