Introduction

Moxa’s MXconfig is a comprehensive Windows-based utility that is used to install, configure, and maintain multiple Moxa devices on industrial networks. This suite of useful tools helps users set the IP addresses of multiple devices with one click, configure the redundant protocols and VLAN settings, modify multiple network configurations of multiple Moxa devices, upload firmware to multiple devices, export or import configuration files, copy configuration settings across devices, easily link to web and Telnet consoles, and test device connectivity. MXconfig gives device installers and control engineers a powerful and easy way to mass configure devices, and it effectively reduces the setup and maintenance cost.

Device Discovery and Fast Group Configuration

  • Easy broadcast search of the network for all supported Moxa managed Ethernet devices
  • Mass network setting (such as IP addresses, gateway, and DNS) deployment reduces setup time
  • Deployment of mass managed functions increases configuration efficiency
  • Security wizard for convenient setup of security-related parameters
  • Multiple grouping for easy classification1
  • User-friendly port selection panel provides physical port descriptions1
  • VLAN Quick-Add Panel speeds up setup time1
  • Deploy multiple devices with one click using CLI execution

Fast Configuration Deployment

  • Quick configuration: copies a specific setting to multiple devices and changes IP addresses with one click

Link Sequence Detection

  • Link sequence detection eliminates manual configuration errors and avoids disconnections, especially when configuring redundancy protocols, VLAN settings, or firmware upgrades for a network in a daisy-chain topology (line topology).
  • Link Sequence IP setting (LSIP) prioritizes devices and configures IP addresses by link sequence to enhance deployment efficiency, especially in a daisy-chain topology (line topology).
