8. Does 1769-AENTR has a built-in Web Server?

 Yes, 1769-AENTR has a built in web server for display of diagnostic information
and configuration of network parameter.

9. How could the customer enable the built in Web server?

The web server will be disabled by default from factory. The web server is
enabled by a manual administrative function, as described in the steps below:
1) The Module is powered up with the IP Address switches set to “000.” In
this state, the module is inoperative and the Module LED is flashing RED.
2) The switches are set to a value other than “000” or “888”
3) The module is power cycled. When the module completes power up, the
web server will be enabled with the password set to a device unique value
which consists of the 8 character ASCII representation of the 32 bit CIP
serial number assigned to the device.
4) If this administrative procedure is performed while the web server is
already enabled, the web server will continue to be enabled and the
password will have been reset to the default value for that device (CIP
serial number).
The above information can also be found in the EtherNet/IP Network
Configuration User manual: ENET-UM001

12. Does it support class 1 and class 3 messaging?

Yes. It supports up to 30 I/O connections. There is a limit of 1 exclusive owner

connection or 1 listen only connection per module depending on IO module type.
No other class 1 connection types are supported (i.e. – no rack optimized so all
direct module connections). RPI value doesn’t affect connection count. The
module supports up to 32 class 3 explicit messages directed through the adapter to
various I/O modules.

13. What version of RSLogix5000 or Studio5000 do I need?

It is supported from RSLogix5000 V20 onwards with a separate install of the
Add-On Profile. V22 and greater will automatically install the required Add-On
Profile with any install of the Studio5000.

14. How the Add-On Profile be obtained?

The Add-On profile can be downloaded from Rockwell Automation’s Product
compatibility and Download center:

16. Where do I configure the User Defined safe state?
The User Defined Safe State setting will be available in the profile of the IO
module when the module is placed under the 1769-AENTR.

17. Is the 1769-AENTR adapter firmware upgradable?

Yes, the 1769-AENTR adapter is field firmware upgradable using the
ControlFlash.

18. How can I obtain the 1769-AENTR adapter firmware?

19. What is the RPI range supported by 1769 IO Modules on 1769-AENTR The
1769-AENTR support I/O modules with 2.0 to 750.0 ms RPI.

20. Does it support bridging and routing?

Yes. For example, user could reach a DeviceNet Module on 1769-SDN with
connect to the 1769-AENTR. Note that explicit unconnected messages are
supported. Class 1 and class 3 connections to modules on remote networks are
not supported.

21. How do I clear the fault on the 1769-AENTR?

Use AENTR module profile to reset the module to clear the fault.

22. How do I estimate the 1769-AENTR performance?

Please refer to the 1769-AENTR Performance Estimation Guide.
