Transit the X-gateway Conguraon
Before You Begin
The X-gateway is congured via the soware applicaon Anybus Conguraon Manager X-gateway.
The Communicator is congured via a built-in web interface.
To transit from an X-gateway to a Communicator, you need to:
1. Overview the exisng conguraon sengs in the Anybus Conguraon Manager X-gateway.
2. Redo the conguraon in the Communicator built-in web interface.

Find the Communicator on Your PC
The Communicator default IP address is 192.168.0.10.
To be able to access the Communicator built-in web interface you may need to adjust the IP sengs, choose one of
the following methods:
Opon 1 | Set a stac IP address on the PC
On the PC accessing the Communicator built-in web interface, set a stac IP address
within the same IP address range as the Communicator IP address.
To access the Communicator built-in web interface, ensure that port Port 80 TCP is open
in your PC Windows Firewall.
Note that when you change to a stac IP address on your PC, internet access is lost.
Opon 2 | Change the IP address on the Communicator conguraon port
Use the soware applicaon HMS IPcong to nd and change the IP address on the
Communicator conguraon port, to one within the same IP address range as the PC
