3.1.3 Set the IP Address

Change the IP Address of the DXM100-B1R1 to connect to a Modbus TCP/IP or Ethernet/IP Host Controller.
Equipment needed:
• DXM100-B1R1 Wireless Controller
There are two ways to set the IP address: using the DXM's LCD menu or using the DXM Configuration Tool to change the
XML file.
Entering IP Addresses using the LCD menu system overrides the IP addresses in the XML configuration files. To use the IP
addresses set in the XML configuration file, clear the IP addresses from the menu system.
1. On the DXM, use the arrows and move to the System Config menu. Press Enter.
2. Use the arrow keys to select the Ethernet menu. Press Enter.
3. Use the arrow keys to select IP. Press Enter.
The octet of the IP address displays.
4. Use the up and down arrows to change the IP address. Press Enter to move to the next octet.
5. Press Enter on the final octet to accept the changes.
6. Cycle power to the DXM100.
The changes are saved on the DXM100 and the new IP address will be used.
Use this same procedures to set the Subnet Mask (SN) and Default Gateway (GW) to match your network requirements.

3.2 DXM Configuration Tool

Configure the DXM100 using the DXM Configuration Tool. The DXM Configuration Tool can be used stand-alone or
connected to the controller using USB or Ethernet. The tool creates an XML file defined for the DXM100 and can be used at
the website level for configuration.
The DXM Configuration Tool restricts the naming of registers and rules to characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, # $ _ - ( ) space.
Use the DXM Configuration Tool either while connected to a DXM100 or as a standalone configuration software.
There are two top-level menus similar to other Windows programs: File and
Device.
• Use the File menu to manage the loading and saving of the XML
configuration file created by the DXM Configuration Tool.
• Use the Device menu to handle the connection settings to the
DXM100 as well as upload or download the XML configuration files.
Also part of the Device menu is the communications tools used to
view data traffic on the serial bus, useful in ScriptBasic
programming.
Connect to the DXM100 by selecting the Device > Connection Settings menu. Connect via USB or Ethernet. Before
attempting an Ethernet connection, first connect using USB so you can configure the Ethernet parameters before you
connect to a live network.
Banner recommends disconnecting the COMM port through the Device menu before turning off power or disconnecting the
USB cable. Use Device > Reboot to restart the DXM100 if needed; the tool automatically disconnects the COMM port, then
reconnect it again.
For a simple tutorial using the DXM Configuration Tool see the
Right-click on most fields to access a context-sensitive menu. The most common options in the menus are Cut, Copy,
Paste, Delete, and Insert to make data entry easier.
