Ethernet network configuration using BWConfig.
Ethernet Network Configuration using Arp/Ping
Step 1: Connect the Anybus-X Module to Your Network
•
Connect the Ethernet network cable to the RJ-45 fieldbus connector on
the end of the Anybus-X.
Step 2: Configure the Anybus-X IP Address Using Arp/Ping
•
Set all 8 switches on the IP Address Configuration DIP switch to the ON
position.
•
Turn the power ON.
•
Open an MS-DOS™ window on the PC.
•
Type ‘arp -s <IP address> <MAC address>’
Substitute <MAC address> with the MAC address of your Anybus-X
module. The MAC address is printed on a label on the back of the mod-
ule. (Don’t include the “<“or “>” characters shown above.) Separate
every 2 digits of the MAC address with a dash (-).
Ask your network administrator for an unused IP number.
Substitute <IP address> with the IP number you wish to use for the mod-
ule. (Don’t include the “<“or “>” characters.)
Note:
The Anybus-X’s subnet mask and gateway address cannot be
changed using this method.
Example:
arp -s 65.106.34.252 00-30-11-02-00-5e
•
Type ‘ping <IP address>’
Example:
ping 65.106.34.252
