Ethernet Configuration

The AN-X2-ABRIO-EIPSCN module connects a controller on remote I/O such as a

PLC-5 to scan I/O modules on Ethernet.

Before you can use the AN-X2-ABRIO-EIPSCN, you must configure its network

properties on Ethernet.

AN-X modules are shipped with the link-local address 169.254.42.84.

Unless you have control of the DHCP server, in most applications you will assign the

AN-X a static IP address. 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.
