Configuration 14 (28) ► Enter password (default: IXXAT) in field Device password. ► To write the new IP configuration to the target device click button Save. ► If the CAN@net NT is connected via a router, configure the IP address again after the de- vice is configured.
Gateway mode For information about the communication in Gateway mode and commands that are used to ex- change CAN messages see Software Design Guide CAN@net NT 200/420 Generic Protocol for Gateway Mode on www.ixxat.com. 6.3.2 Configuring the Device Fig. 9 ASCII Gateway Mode ►...
Configuration 16 (28) Bridge Configuration Exclusively one master device is allowed in the Bridge mode. 6.4.1 Possible Operational Modes With the CAN@net NT the Bridge mode allows to connect CAN systems over an Ethernet TCP/ IP network, for example the local intranet or the internet (firewall needed). Minimum two devices are required for a CAN-Ethernet-CAN bridge.
