Setting IP Addresses
This section is relevant for setting the internally facing Ethernet interface for X-gateways not
purchased from Honeywell and also for the externally facing Ethernet/IP interface.
The address may be set via the HMS IPconfig program which can be downloaded from
www.anybus.com. It is also pre-installed in the Vertex DAq. The procedure is:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the computer to the relevant gateway interface.
2. Start IPconfig.
3. Within about 5 seconds it should find the gateway as shown in green in Figure 8.43.
IPconfig can find X-gateways even when they are on a different subnet.
4. Configure the IP address as needed by the fieldbus network. The internally facing upper
interface must be configured for 192.168.1.35/24.
5. Click Apply
6. Interrupt power to the gateway to reboot it.
Figure 8.43
Alternative methods of setting the IP addresses are
l
Using an internal webserver. But this requires that the current IP address be known.
l
Using switches. But this is limited to the 192.168.0.XXX subnet and so is not suitable for the
internally facing Ethernet port.
l
Using DHCP.
