4.1.2

 

Usage 

When the configuration tool is started, the network is scanned for CAN@net II 
devices. If a device is connected to the network later, there are two possibilities 

for detecting the new device: 
 

 

activating the function “Autoscan”, so that the tool scans the network every 3 

seconds, or 

 

pushing the “Rescan” button for a single network scan. 

 
For configuring the network parameters of a CAN@net II, the desired device has 
to be chosen from the “Device List”. After that, the “Configure” button has to be 
pushed. This is only possible if the device is not connected to another application 
(Connection State: Not Connected). 
In the configuration dialog, the DHCP mode can be activated or deactivated. The 
IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway can only be set in the non-DCHP 
mode . in addition, the hostname and the password can be set. 
When “OK” is clicked, the parameters are written to the CAN@net II. For success-

ful operation, the password has to be entered. The configuration can be stopped 
with “Cancel”. 
The default settings of the network parameters are shown in the appendix. 

4.2

 

Resetting the network parameters 

The default settings of the network parameters can be reloaded using the DIP 
switch. 
The following steps are necessary: 
(1)

 

Ensure that you are electro-statically discharged. 

(2)

 

Switch off the CAN@net II and unplug the power connector. 

(3)

 

Separate the top housing (incl. printed board) from the bottom housing. For 

this, the two package locks have to be pressed in slightly. 

(4)

 

Switch number 1 of the DIP switch to “ON”. 

(5)

 

Put the printed board back in the bottom housing. Pay attention to the ESD 
plastic film, because it has to assembled. 

(6)

 

Connect the CAN@net II to the power supply. A green and red running light 
has to be displayed by the LEDs PWR, CPU, ETH and CAN. 

(7)

 

Disconnect the CAN@net II from the power supply. 

(8)

 

Remove the PCB from the bottom housing in a similar way to the steps de-

scribed above. 

(9)

 

Switch number 1 of the DIP switch back to “Off”.
