Fields of application

• Self-created batch files which are executed via the included Lua interpreter with

integrated AnaGate software API.

3.2. Bridge mode

In the bridge mode two arbitrary CAN networks can be interconnected by two

AnaGate CAN Gateways. The CAN messages are exchanged transparently over TCP/

IP between the two devices in both directions.

It is possible to mix different AnaGate CAN Gateway models in bridge mode.

Important

It is recommended to use unique CAN identifiers in the interconnected

CAN networks.

Via HTTP interface both AnaGate CAN Gateway are configured as usual.

Subsequently one of the two devices has to be configured for the bridge mode. This

can be done by the page CAN Settings of the web interface (see Section 2.3, “ CAN

settings”). This device acts in a manner of speaking as master and establishes the

network connection to the second device and manages connection control. Basically

a bridge can be created for each existing CAN interface of the device.

The following additional parameters can be set for the device:

• IP address of the partner device, which is to be connected.

• CAN port of the partner device, which is to be connected (see Table A.1, “ Using

AnaGate hardware with firewall ”).
