Web Interface
The web interface can be fully customized to suit a particular application. Dynamic content can
be created by means JSON and SSI scripting. Data and web pages are stored in a FLASH-
based file system, which can be accessed using any standard FTP-client or the File System In-
terface Object.

Socket Interface (Advanced Users Only)
The built in socket interface allows additional protocols to be implemented on top of TCP/IP. Da-
ta is structured by the application and is then embedded within the Ethernet frames. The host
application can open network connections of its own to other nodes on the network, e.g. if you
want to connect to another server or use a web server of your own.

Communication Settings
As with other Anybus CompactCom products, network related communication settings are
grouped in the Network Configuration Object (04h).
In this case, this includes...
TCP/IP settings
These settings must be set properly in order for the module to be able to
participate on the network.
The module supports DHCP, which may be used to retrieve the TCP/IP settings
from a DHCP-server automatically. DHCP is enabled by default, but can be
disabled if necessary.
Physical Link Settings
By default, the module uses auto negotiation to establish the physical link
settings, however it is possible to force a specific setting if necessary.
The parameters in the Network Configuration Object (04h) are available from the network
through the built in web server.
