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.
Alternative methods of setting the IP addresses are
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
l
internally facing Ethernet port.
Using DHCP.
