If the Site Survey fails (100 missed packets), verify the radios are at least 10 feet from the DXM and/or rerun the binding
procedure. If you find poor signal quality, common solutions include moving the DXM to a more central location relative to the
Nodes or using higher-gain antennas on the DXM. Contact your local Banner Engineering representative for assistance.
2.1.3 Set a Static IP Address
Change the IP address of the DXM to connect to a local area network, Modbus TCP/IP host controller, or EtherNet/IP host
controller.
There are two ways to set the IP address: using the DXM's LCD menu or using the configuration software to change the XML
file. IP addresses entered into the LCD menu system override the IP addresses in the XML configuration files. To use the IP
addresses set in the XML configuration file, clear the IP addresses from the menu system.

5. Follow steps 1 and 2 to reenter the Ethernet menu. Use the arrow keys to select
IP
. Press
ENTER
.
The IP address displays (for example, 192.168.0.1).
6. Use the up and down arrows to change the IP address. Press
ENTER
to move to the next octet.
7. Press
ENTER
on the final octet to accept the changes.
8. Cycle power to the DXM.
The changes are saved on the DXM and the new IP address will be used.
Use this same procedures to set the subnet mask (SN) and default gateway (GW) to match your network requirements. Your
IT department can provide these settings if needed.
2.2 Configuration Instructions
2.2.1 Configuring the Controller
Configure the DXM700 using the configuration
.
To configure the DXM700, connect the DXM700's USB or Ethernet port to a
computer.
The DXM Configuration Software allows the user to define parameters for the
DXM700, then saves the configuration in an XML file on the PC.
After the configuration file is saved, upload the XML configuration file to the
DXM700 for operation.
This quick start guide outlines the basic operations to set up a DXM700 using
the configuration software. For a more comprehensive explanation of features,
refer to the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n
