network. This name is also 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 31 characters long. It can contain alphanumeric
characters and a hyphen.
To configure the AN-X to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server on
the network, select Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)
To configure the AN-X to use a static IP address, select Use the
following Settings
and enter:
• the desired IP address for the AN-X.
• the Subnet mask for the AN-X
• the default gateway for your network.
You must enter a default gateway address that is valid for the subnet,
even if there is no device at the gateway address on the network.
Click OK to complete the configuration.
If you click Cancel, AN-X is left running the boot code. Use the
Utilities/Restart AN-X
command to restart the AN-X in production mode.
Standalone Computer
Since you are connecting directly from the computer to AN-X, use a
crossover Ethernet cable.
The following instructions assume Windows XP. They also assume that
an Ethernet network card has been installed in the computer and that
AnxInit has been installed on the computer.
TIP
The parameters in this example will work when you set up any
standalone computer to work with AN-X.
First configure the computer to use a static IP address. From the Control
Panel, select Network Connections. Double click on Local Area
Connection
(or whatever connection is being used for the AN-X)
