AN-X-DCSNet2

November 2011

Using the Web Interface

The AN-X module contains a webserver capable of communicating with
standard web browsers such as Internet Explorer.

The web interface is used for:

• setting the DCSNet configuration (drop number and depth)

• uploading ControlLogix and AN-X to AN-X configuration files

• monitoring DCS data

• viewing AN-X logs

To use the web interface, you need to know the IP address of the AN-X.
Use the Utilities/Locate All AN-X Modules command in AnxInit to find
all AN-X modules on the Ethernet network.

To access the web interface, start your web browser and type the AN-X
IP address where you normally enter web addresses in the browser.

The left pane contains commands. Click on the arrows at the left of the
main headings to expand or contract the sections.

The contents of the right pane depend on the current command being
executed.

DCSNet Configuration

Select Automation Network/DCSNet Configuration to set the DCS drop
number and depth.
