Downloading Ethernet Drivers

The Ethernet drivers for the Ethernet Option Module are
downloaded from GEFanuc.com. Files and passwords are:

Downloading is done using the PumpKIN utility, which is

included. To download a driver, perform the following procedure.
Only one driver can be present at one time. After the driver has
been downloaded you will have to re-configure the port using
Telnet.

To download Ethernet drivers:

1. Open the PumpKIN Utility. 5. When the transfer is accomplished, go back to Telnet and
configure the settings by following the procedure listed
under Setting the Permanent IP Address on page 2. Refer to
GFK-1852 for more information on configuration options.

Functional Compatibility
The default data rate with Ethernet option module firmware
version 2.0 is 175000 bps. Micro firmware versions below 3.83
do not support 175000 bps. If firmware version 2.0 is to be used
with Micro firmware versions prior to 3.83, the data rate on
Ethernet Option module should be changed to 38400 bps or less,
as per the requirement.
