AN-X3-GENI
January 2024
Link-Local IP Configuration
** Many computers do not allow access to link-local addresses by default.
If you are using link-local IP addresses to configure multiple AN-X3 modules, connect and
configure one at a time, since initially they will all be set to the same link-local IP address.
Enter the AN-X3’s link-local IP address (169.254.42.84) in your web browser.
If the AN-X3’s web page does not load, it’s likely you computer is not configured to allow access
to link-local IP addresses.
You can add a link-local route to your computer or use Prosoft Discovery Service or remove the
microSD and edit Config.txt.
microSD Config.txt
The microSD card contains a text configuration file named Config.txt.
Config.txt contains the IP configuration and the name of the firmware file to load.
When you perform the
Administration/AN-X Configuration
command from the web interface, it
writes the results to config.txt.
Each line consists of a keyword followed by a colon and then a value.
Example:
IP: 192.168.1.12
Anything after a semicolon on a line is treated as a comment.

TIP

link-local IP address. It cannot be connected through a router.
