I want to connect an AB Micrologix 1000 with my PC through AB 1761-NET-ENI series D module (no other deive in the network). PC TCP/IP settings (manually configured) are as follows.
IP Address: 192.168.1.250
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Rest is blank
Before configuring the ENI module, I tried to connect and configure its ethernet drivers through RS linx classic v 2.5. Settings in RS Linx Driver are as follows
IP address : 192.168.1.254 (factory default)
and also 192.168.1.253 (when the above one didn't wrk)
After RSWho command, it recognized the node but as un-recognized device in the driver tree ( name with a yellow question mark and red cross).
Also i was getting no response thru PING from CMD window.
Presumming it to be an IP Address issue, I tried to configure the IP address of 1761-NET-ENI thru BOOTP utility but it gave me an error of unable to connect when trying to initiate a BOOTP session (after entering necessary inputs).
After this, i tried the ENI configuration utility over ethernet in conjunction with COM port redirector software. Com port was successfully redirected but when tried to load from ENI through Configuration Utility, it gave an error of unable to connect to the COM port.
I presume that it is an IP issue but i am unable to configure or view it through any method by book. Please tell me if i am ignoring a simple setting or else.
