I have searched for hours trying to find an answer in the threads some seem to come close to my issue but not exact. I am trying to communicate with a Micrologix 1500 LRP 24BWA with an 1761-NET-ENI Ethernet interface I have configured and downloaded information to the module cycled power connected the module to the LRP base with 1761 cbl-am-00. This cable will power up the module when I open linx I can see the module(connected with a patch cable) but not the Micrologix baud rate between the two device are set the same. Is there a way to set an ip address to the micrologix so I can set it as a host in the ENI utility? Am I suppose to be able to get online with the controller or just use it as for messaging? Or am I going about this the wrong way? I do plain on adding a switch and router just want to test my connections before I start making it more complicated. I am also configuring the module with a USB to serial to 1761-CBL-PM02. I am attempting to avoid using the message instruction in logix or upgrading to a different controller for right now, this is just working on a test lab at my home. Thanks in advance.
