Anybus Wireless Bridge - Ethernet to WLAN

Doc.Rev. 1.30

There are currently 12 different modes available:

"Enable DHCP server" can be used to easily access the Wireless Bridge if the PC is using DHCP, with-

out having to change the PC’s IP settings. This mode should only be used when the PC is connected

directly to the module, and not if the module is connected to a network using a DHCP server. Enable

this mode, then connect the Ethernet cable to the computer. The DHCP server will stay enabled until

a reboot.

How to use the other different modes for specific use cases is described later in this document.

2.2.1 Using the Web Configuration Interface

By default, the Wireless Bridge has the following static IP settings;

• IP address: 192.168.0.99

• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

• Default gateway: 192.168.0.99.

To access the module using the web-based configuration interface, the computer must be set up in the

same network, e.g. IP address: 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask: 255.255.0.0.

Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.99 in the address field. From here, the most common

configuration parameters needed to set up a connection can be found.
