GETTING STARTED
This chapter describes the configuration, maintenance and update of the ANET429 and
how to use the ANET429 from a customer application and with AIMs PBA.pro.
3.1 Requirements
The ANET429 module is configured using a web application hosted by the ANET and
therefore Operating System independent. A web browser is needed on your system in
order to run the ANET configuration application.
3.2 Integration in a Network
This section describes how to attach ANET429 modules to your network.
The procedure depends if your network provides a DHCP server or not. How to proceed
is described in the following chapters.
3.2.1 The Network provides a DHCP sever
Just plug the ANET429 module to a free port of an Ethernet switch that is attached to
your network. Any standard twisted-pair cable with RJ45 plugs can be used. The DHCP
server will automatically assign an IP-Address for each ANET429 in a network.
3.2.2
The Network doesn’t provide a DHCP sever
Either the ANET429 has a direct connection between an Ethernet port of a PC or is
connected to a Ethernet Network via a Switch
Both, the ANET429 module and the configuration system (e.g. PC), should be powered
off before the connection is established. Any standard twisted-pair cable with RJ45
plugs can be used for the direct connection.
The network interface of the configuration system connected to the ANET429 (i.e. a PC
or any other System with an Ethernet-Port) must be configured to automatically obtain
an IP. The OS will then assign a link-local IP address in the range from 169.254.0.0 to
169.254.255.255 for the configuration system (e.g. a PC).
Now first power on the ANET429 module, followed by the configuration system (e.g.
PC) power on. After the OS has been booted, you should check if the configuration
system obtained an IP address in the range from 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255.
For example, if Windows is used, open a command console and run ipconfig.
For assigning a specific IP-Address see chapter 3.3.5
