Anybus IPconfig (HICP)

General

The gateway supports the HICP protocol used by the Anybus IPconfig utility, which can be downloaded
free of charge from the HMS web site. This utility may be used to access the TCP/IP settings of any
Anybus product connected to the network via UDP port 3250.

Operation

Upon starting the program, the network is scanned for Anybus products. The network can be rescanned
at any time by clicking 'Scan'.
In the list of detected devices, the gateway will by default appear as 'ABC-PRT-USS'.

to cancel.
Optionally, the configuration can be protected from
unauthorized access by a password. To enter a pass-
word, click on the 'Change password' checkbox, and
