Enter a Host Name for the AN-X. This name is used internally by AN-X
and may be used to identify the AN-X if you have a DNS server on your
network. The name can be from 1 to 31 characters long.
To configure the AN-X to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server on
the network, select Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)
To configure the AN-X to use a static IP address, select Use the
following Settings
and enter:
• the desired IP address for the AN-X.
• the Subnet mask for the AN-X
• the default gateway for your network.
You must enter a valid default gateway address even if there is no device
at the gateway address on the network.
Click OK to complete the configuration.
If you Cancel the Configuration/AN-X IP Settings command, AN-X is
left running the boot code. Use the Utilities/Restart AN-X command to
restart the AN-X.
Example: Standalone Computer
A typical example is a laptop computer running the AutoMax
programming software and connecting directly to an AN-X to program
an AutoMax processor.
Since you are connecting directly from the computer to AN-X, use a
crossover Ethernet cable.
The following instructions assume Windows 2000. The procedure for
Windows NT and Windows XP is very similar. They also assume that
an Ethernet network card has been installed in the computer and that
AnxInit has been installed on the computer.
TIP The parameters in this example will work when you set up any
standalone computer to work with AN-X.
First configure the computer to use a static IP address. From the Start
menu, select Start/Settings/Network and Dialup Connections. Double
click on Local Area Connection.
