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.

The octet of the IP address displays (for example, 192.168.10.1).
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.
Configuration Instructions
Configuring the Controller
Configure the DXM using the configuration
.
To configure the DXM, connect the DXM's USB or Ethernet port to a computer.
The DXM Configuration Software allows the user to define parameters for the DXM,
then saves the configuration in an XML file on the PC.
After the configuration file is saved, upload the XML configuration file to the DXM
for operation.
This quick start guide outlines the basic operations to set up a DXM using the
configuration software. For a more comprehensive explanation of features, refer to
the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n
For a complete list of all associated product documentation, refer to your model's

Configure for Traditional Setup
This section will walk you through the traditional method of setting up the DXM Configuration Software and communicating with a
connected DXM device. Version 4 of the DXM Configuration Software supports multiple DXM device models, each of which
incorporates different features.
As of DXM Configuration Software v4.8.4, the Simple Setup procedure is only available with the DXM700, DXM1000, and DXM1200
models.
As soon as a DXM model is connected to your computer, the software automatically detects the correct model and loads the
appropriate screens. You may also manually select which model of DXM you are configuring if you intend to create a configuration
file without connecting a device. This ensures that the interface and the configuration file use the correct features.
