Ethernet Configuration
The AN-X-AMXRIO module connects a computer or other device on Ethernet to a
Reliance AutoMax remote I/O network.
Before you can use the AN-X-AMXRIO to scan I/O, you must configure its Ethernet
network properties.
Ethernet Configuration
AN-X can be configured to use a static (unchanging) IP address or it can be configured to
obtain its IP address from a DHCP server.
Unless you have control of the DHCP server, in most applications you will want to
configure AN-X to use a static IP address. Otherwise the DHCP server may assign a
different IP address each time AN-X powers up, and any software that accesses the AN-
X module would have to be reconfigured to use the new IP address.
AN-X is shipped with DHCP enabled. If the AN-X module finds a DHCP server on the
network, the AN-X module obtains its IP address from the DHCP server. You can use the
utility AnxInit to find the IP address that the DHCP server assigned. Select
Utilities/Locate All AN-X Modules
and AnxInit will locate the AN-X and display its IP
address. See page 29.
