Page AN-X2-MOD-MON
The AN-X2-MOD-MON module connects a ControlLogix or similar processor on
Ethernet to an S908 remote I/O network to monior Modicon inputs and outputs.
Before you can use the AN-X2-MOD-MON, you must configure its network properties
on Ethernet.

Ethernet Configuration

AN-X can be configured:
•
to use a static (unchanging) IP address
•
to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server
•
to use the fixed link-local address 169.254.42.84
All AN-X modules are shipped with the same link-local address 169.254.42.84.
Unless you have control of the DHCP server, in most applications you will assign a static
IP address tp the AN-X. Otherwise the DHCP server may assign a different IP address
each time AN-X powers up, and any software that accesses the AN-X module would have
to be reconfigured.
If you are using multiple AN-X modules, connect and configure one at a time, since
initially they will all be set to the same link-local IP address.
IMPORTANT!
You configure the Ethernet properties using the web interface.
Start a web browser and enter the address 169.254.42.84
TIP
Select Administration/AN-X Configuration.
If you are connecting AN-X to an existing Ethernet network, consult the
network administrator to obtain information about how you should
configure AN-X or to obtain a static IP address for AN-X.
The AN-X2 must be on the same subnet as the computer to use the
link-local IP address. It cannot be connected through a router.
