6.2 Ethernet Configuration File (‘ethcfg.cfg’)
6.2.1 General
To exist on the network, the Anybus Communicator needs a valid TCP/IP configuration. These settings
are stored in the system file ‘\ethcfg.cfg’. Note that if TCP/IP settings are enabled in Anybus Configu-
ration Manager, then the IP address, gateway and subnet settings in ethcfg.cfg will be overwritten every
time the module is restarted. All other settings are unaffected.
The settings in this file may also be affected by...
• EtherNet/IP (See “EtherNet/IP” on page 37).
• HICP (See “Anybus IPconfig (HICP)” on page 41)
• SSI (See “Server Side Include (SSI)” on page 45)
