Enter a Host Name 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 31 characters long.

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 valid default gateway address even if there is no device at the gateway
address on the network.

Click OK to complete the configuration.

If you Cancel the Configuration/AN-X IP Settings command, AN-X is left running the
boot code. Use the Utilities/Restart AN-X command to restart the AN-X.

You can also reconfigure the AN-X IP parameters from the web interface. Refer to page
43.

Reconfiguring an AN-X from an Unknown State

It sometimes happens that an AN-X has been previously configured with an IP address
that causes it to be inaccessible on the current Ethernet network. To reconfigure it to a
known state, run the command Configuration/AN-X IP Settings to start the AN-X IP
Configuration Wizard and reconfigure AN-X.
