Connecting to Ethernet
Ethernet Connector
The Ethernet cable is connected to the RJ45 connector on the end of the module.
Setting the IP Address
Setting the IP Address Using the Anybus-X Configuration Tool
The Ethernet configuration can be set using the BWConfig tool. When launched,
the tool (shown above) will allow the Ethernet configuration to be edited and
downloaded to the module. Once the configuration has been downloaded, the
Anybus-X will be reset automatically by the tool. See the Configuration section
of the user manual for complete details on using BWConfig.
Setting the IP Address Using DHCP/BOOTP
When DHCP/BOOTP is enabled, the IP address settings will be configured by the
DHCP or BOOTP server on the network.
This is the default setting of the Anybus-X when it is shipped. The DHCP option
is enabled or disabled using the Anybus-X’s Settings web page.
