Setup network address in GL-9089 and GN-9289

Setting of the IP address is made through BOOTP.

Default network settings

Default Setting

IP Address| 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask| 255.255.255.0
Gateway| 0.0.0.0

Use BOOTP server

BOOTP is a standard protocol that can be used to configure the network settings on a GL-9089 and GN-9289.

Sometimes it’s required to disable all other network devices besides the one being used to configure the GL-9089/GN-9289.

Setup network address in GL-9089 and GN-9289

In some rare case the firewall needs to be disabled, select “Turn off…” on all networks and push “OK”.

Setup network address in GL-9089 and GN-9289

Remember to reactivate the firewall after the IP address setting is done!

There could be security software (like antivirus programs) that might need to be temporarily disabled.

In some cases when cycling the power of the network adapter, without using a switch between the PC and network adapter, the BOOTP application will loose its reference to the ethernet port. The best and recommended way is to use a switch between the PC and the device.

BootP, method 1

Connect the PC with the GL-9089/GN-9289 over Ethernet.
Set a fixed IP address on the PC, same subnet as the GL-9089/GN-9289 is to be changed to. The IP address for the PC should not be assigned automatically (DHCP).Se section 4.2. part 1.
Always use the latest version of Beijer BOOTP server (included in IOGuidePro or extracted tool).
Run IOGuidePro, and select menu Tools > Bootp Server, or start the BOOTP tool from folder. Alternative run the BOOTP server separately (BootpSvr.exe).
When the BOOTP Server is launched and to allow G-series device in present version of IOGuidePro. Make sure that option ”Show Beijer device only” is unchecked!
Push the “Add New Device” button and enter the MAC address and desired IP address, subnet and gateway. Select the network interface that the GL-9089/GN-9289 is connected to.

Push “Ok” and “Start Bootp”.
Power OFF the GL-9089/GN-9289 and set DIP switch 9 to ON (BOOTP).
Power on the GL-9089/GN-9289 device, and the device will get the new IP address from the BootP server, it appears in the upper window.
“Stop Bootp” and reset DIP switch 9 to OFF, and reboot the GL-9089/GN-9289 device.
If the IP is set to a different subnet then change the IP address of your computer accordingly.
Try to ping the device with new IP address.
Close the BOOTP Server.

BootP, method 2

Connect the PC with the GL-9089/GN-9289 over Ethernet.
Set a fixed IP address on the PC, same subnet as the GL-9089/GN-9289 is to be changed to. The IP address for the PC should not be assigned automatically (DHCP). Se section 4.2. part 1.
Always use the latest version of the Beijer BOOTP server included in IO Guide Pro or extracted tool.
Run IO Guide Pro and select menu Tools > Bootp Server, or start the BOOTP tool from folder. / Alternative run the Bootp server separately (BootpSvr.exe).
When the BootP Server is launched and to allow M-series device in present version of IO Guide Pro, make sure that ”Show Beijer device only” is unchecked!
Press “Start Bootp”.
Power OFF the GL-9089/GN-9289 and set DIP switch 9 to ON (BOOTP).
Power on the GL-9089/GN-9289 device, and the device will be shown in the BootP server.

Double click on one of the marked rows above.
The MAC address is default entered, type required IP address, Subnet and Gateway. Select the correct “Interface”, PC:s Ethernet connection to the GL-9089/GN-9289 and push “Ok”.
Now press “Stop BootP”.
Reset the DIP switch 9 to OFF, and reboot the GL-9089/GN-9289 device.
If the IP is set to a different subnet then change the IP address of your computer accordingly.
Try to ping the device with new IP address.
Close the BOOTP Server.

Note!

MODBUS/TCP IP – Address Setup

If the adapter BOOTP/DHCP enabled (DIP Pole#9 ON), the adapter sends BOOTP/DHCP request message of 20 times every 2sec. If BOOTP/DHCP sever does not response, the Adapter applies its IP Address with EEPROM (Latest saved IP Address).
