Gateway 0.0.0.0 If you are adding your AXIOM to a larger network, you must obtain an IP addresses (as well as the other parameters) from your network administrator. If the AXIOMs are to operate on a closed network, you may assign your own IP addresses.
Page 186: Controller/Client Communications
Up to six AXIOMs can be configured to operate together as a single unit. All communications between readers is accomplished over an Ethernet network. In this configuration, one AXIOM must be set up as a Controller. The Controller initiates connections with the remaining readers, configuring them to operate as Clients.
Page 187 NOTE: The following LED functions are overridden if EtherNet/IP communications are used. (See Chapter 4.) The main AXIOM diagnosis tool is the Network LED. An AXIOM controller will FLASH the LED red once a second if it cannot locate the specified number of Clients.
Page 188: Network Host Communications
When a socket connection to the AXIOM is established, the green AXIOM network LED will be illuminated (unless client/controller mode is in use in which the LED indicates the status of the inter-AXIOM network connections). One issue should be considered when designing such an application: As with any socket connection, if one side or the other terminates the connection without properly closing it - the connection can be left open.
Page 189 Appendices TCP/IP Client It is also possible to configure the AXIOM to operate as a TCP/IP Client. In this case, you must also specify the IP address of the computer to which the AXIOM is to attempt to initiate a connection. If a connection cannot be established, the AXIOM will reattempt the connection after the specified number of seconds (default is 5 seconds).
Page 190: Ethernet/Ip
Refer to this appendix when setting up the interface to your device. Use I/O messaging to monitor and set AXIOM I/O bits as well as to obtain bar code data from the AXIOM. The disadvantage is the I/O messages are always sent at scheduled intervals creating a lot of network traffic.
Page 191 The Bar Code Data parameters allow you to manipulate the format of the bar code data. Most notable if your bar codes only contain numeric digits, you can configure the AXIOM to convert the bar codes to a numeric value instead of transmitting them as ASCII text.
Page 192 No further configuration is needed to setup I/O messaging. Since the ControlLogix processor will treat the AXIOM as an I/O device, to setup an EtherNet/IP I/O message transfer between an AXIOM and a ControlLogix processor, you need to configure your AXIOM as a Generic Ethernet Module in the ControlLogix I/O tree.

On-Demand messaging can be enabled on the AXIOM from the EtherNet/IP window within AXCESS.
