3 GETTING STARTED
This chapter describes the configuration, maintenance and update of the ANET3910-EN
and how to use the ANET3910-EN from a customer application and with AIMs PBA.pro
Analyser Software.
3.1.1 Requirements
The configuration of the ANET3910-EN module is via web application hosted by the
ANET and therefore Operating System independent. A web browser needed on your
system in order to run the ANET configuration application. The ANET configuration has
been tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. It is
recommended to always use the latest version of the respective browser.
3.1.2 Integration in a Network
This section describes how to attach ANET3910-EN modules to your IPv4 network.
The procedure depends if your network provides a DHCP server or not. How to proceed
is described in the following chapters.
3.1.2.1 The Network provides a DHCP sever
Just plug the ANET3910-EN module to a free port of an Ethernet switch that is attached
to your network. Any standard twisted-pair cable with RJ45 plugs can be used. The
DHCP server will automatically assign an IP-Address for each ANET3910-EN in a
network.
3.1.2.2 The Network doesn’t provide a DHCP server
Either the ANET3910-EN has a direct connection between an Ethernet port of a PC or it
is connected to an Ethernet Network via a Switch.
Both, the ANET3910-EN module and the configuration system (e.g. PC), should be
powered off before the connection is established. Any standard twisted-pair cable
(CAT5 or better) with RJ45 plugs can be used for the direct connection.
The network interface of the configuration system connected to the ANET3910-EN (i.e.
a PC or any other System with an Ethernet-Port) must be configured to automatically
obtain an IP. The OS will then assign a link-local IP address in the range from
169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 for the configuration system (e.g. a PC).
Now first power on the ANET3910-EN module, followed by the configuration system
(e.g. PC) power on. After the OS has been booted, you should check if the configuration
system obtained an IP address in the range from 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255.
For example, if Windows is used, open a command console and run ipconfig.
For assigning a specific IP-Address see chapter 3.1.4.1.
