Appendix A
Anybus IPconfig (HICP)
General
The gateway supports the HICP protocol used by the Anybus IPconfig utility, which can be downloaded
free of charge from the HMS web site. This utility may be used to access the TCP/IP settings of any
Anybus product connected to the network via UDP port 3250.
Operation
Upon starting the program, the network is scanned for Anybus products. The network can be rescanned
at any time by clicking ‘Scan’.
In the list of detected devices, the gateway will by default appear as ‘ABC-PRT-USS’.
To alter the network settings of the gateway, double-
click on its entry in the list. A window will appear,
containing the actual IP settings.
Validate any changes by clicking ‘Set’, or click ‘Cancel’
to cancel.
Optionally, the configuration can be protected from
unauthorized access by a password. To enter a pass-
word, click on the ‘Change password’ checkbox, and
enter the password under ‘New password’.
