AN-X2-MOD-MON 

 

May 2016

 

 

DHCP 

If the AN-X2 finds a DHCP server on the network, it obtains an IP address and other 
network parameters (netmask and default gateway) from the DHCP server. 

To find the address assigned, look at the DHCP server. 

If the AN-X2 does not find a DHCP server, it reverts to the default link local address 
169.254.42.84 and repeatedly flashes the SYS LED 3 times red followed by a pause. 

Static IP Address 

If you select static IP address, enter: 

 

the IP address for the AN-X 

 

the netmask for the AN-X 

 

the default gateway for your network 

You must enter a valid default gateway address even if there is no device at the gateway 
address on the network. 

Hostname 

Enter a 

Hostname

 for the AN-X.  This name is used internally by AN-X and may be used 

to identify the AN-X if you have a DNS server on your network.  The name can be from 
1 to 30 characters long long and should contain only alphanumeric characters, no hyphens 
or underscores. 

 

TIP 

When you configure the AN-X in RSLogix 5000, use this same name for 
the emulated ENBT.  See page 27. 

 

Firmware 

Select the firmware the AN-X is to load from the list provided.  AN-X builds the list from 
the firmware files on the microSD card that are compatible with the AN-X hardware. 

 

Submitting the Configuration 

Once you have entered all required parameters, click SUBMIT to write the configuration 
to the file config.txt on the microSD card.  The changes do not take effect until the AN-X 
restarts. 

The following page appears when you click SUBMIT.
