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 or the IP address is
unknown.
Remove the microSD card and edit the file config.txt using a text editor such as Windows
Notepad to set the AN-X2 to the desired configuration.
The Configuration File
The Ethernet configuration and the name of the production firmware file to load are
stored in the file config.txt on the microSD card.
The file config.txt is a text file that contains the Ethernet configuration and the name of
the firmware file to load.
When you perform the Administration/AN-X Configuration command from the web
interface, it writes the results to config.txt.
Each line consists of a keyword followed by a colon and then a value.
Example:
IP: 192.168.1.12
Anything after a semicolon on a line is treated as a comment.
Keyword Possible Values
IP LOCAL
DHCP
static IP address
Netmask Ethernet netmask, used only if IP is a static IP address
DefGtwy default gateway, used only if IP is a static IP address
Hostname Ethernet host name, from 1 to 30 characters
Firmware Firmware file to run at startup, must be present on microSD
card
If you edit the file and AN-X2 finds an error during startup, it flashes an error code on the
SYS (or MS) LED, see page 41.
