I'm sure this question has been posted a thousand times on here but for me it was even funnier when I got to ask Rockwell / AB directly. My question to them, I have a 1794-AENT without the rotary switches, I don't know the IP, how do I reset it? The person I spoke to gave me a sad look and said we typically tell people to throw them away as there's no way to reset them.
And maybe there are ways and I've just never stumbled upon them. I've always thought about ARP or something with wireshark which I'm not very good at but just never found anything. Somehow through the youtube magic I recently watched one of Tim's videos and he walked around his lab or classroom with this SIM-IPE device and was basically sniffing all of the IPs. So I purchased one last week, got it today and plugged it directly into an AENT. And lo and behold it told me it's IP!!! It's amazing! Sorry I'm sure this is a waste of a post but I for one am just so happy to have a tool that works and will save us money. I know the newer AENTs have the rotary switches and the AENTRs do as well but you have no idea how many older AENTs without the rotary switches the plants I frequent have. I bet hundreds! This device is a huge win in my mind and will save us a lot of time and money. And that's without even playing with the BootP features yet.
