If the link-local address is not accessible...

Addresses 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 are reserved for use on a local network.
AN-X2 modules are shipped set to the address 169.254.42.84 for initial configuration.
This address is almost always accessible from a computer on the same local Ethernet as
the AN-X.
If you cannot access the AN-X2 at address 169.254.42.84 using a web browser, there are
two options for setting the AN-X Ethernet parameters.
