C Secure HICP (Secure Host IP Configuration
Protocol)
C.1 General
The Anybus CompactCom 40 EtherNet/IP supports the Secure HICP protocol used by the Any-
bus IPconfig utility for changing settings, e.g. IP address, Subnet mask, and enable/disable
DHCP. Anybus IPconfig can be downloaded free of charge from the HMS website, www.anybus.
com. This utility may be used to access the network settings of any Anybus product connected
to the network via UDP port 3250.
The protocol offers secure authentication and the ability to restart/reboot the device(s).

network can be rescanned at any time by clicking Scan.
To alter the network settings of a module, double-click on its entry in the list. A window will ap-
pear, containing the settings for the module.
