AN-X3-GENI
January 2024
IP Address Configuration
Before you can use the AN-X3-GENI, you must configure its IP address on Ethernet.
For the options and best procedures to configure AN-X3 modules, see:

Initial IP 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 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.
IMPORTANT!
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.
** Since link-local IP addresses are not always accessible, the recommended method to set the
initial IP address is with the Prosoft Discovery Service (PDS).
