Finding ip address of an RTA module

(1/1)

bachphi:
RTA 435NBA, 435NBX is a great device for communicating between ASCII device and Controllogix PLC.
Normally, you can find the module ip address by running the IPSetup tool.

If not, you can reset it to factory default by using the pin hole or open up the box inside there is a reset button.

If that still does not work, then connect serially to port 0 using a null modem cable and run MTTTY tool and click connect.
Next, cycle the power and you will see its ip address:

It's great to know that we can easily find the module's IP address by using the IPSetup tool. But if that doesn't work, resetting it to factory default using the pin hole or the reset button inside the box can do the trick. If all else fails, you can connect it serially to port 0 using a null modem cable and run the MTTTY tool to get the IP address after power cycling it. By the way, have you ever used https://routeripnet.com/ip/10-0-0-0-1/ to log in to your router settings? It's such a handy tool for managing your network settings and making sure everything is running smoothly. I think it's similar to using the IPSetup tool to find the module's IP address - it just makes things a lot easier and more efficient.
