The Ixxat CAN@net NT is designed to be a three-in-one multi-functional device, serving as a PC interface, bridge, or gateway. This allows you to customize its use based on the needs of your CAN or CAN FD network. Below are the key steps to setting up the CAN@net NT for each of its operating modes:

1. Ixxat CAN Gateway Configurator – Settings:
The CAN Gateway Configurator is the tool used to configure the CAN@net NT device. It allows you to set up various operating modes, network parameters, and message routing options based on your system’s requirements.

2. Configuration of CAN@net NT as a PC Interface:
When configured as a PC interface, the CAN@net NT allows you to connect your computer to a CAN or CAN FD network. This mode is ideal for monitoring, controlling, or logging data from the CAN network using a PC-based application.

3. Configuration of CAN@net NT as a CAN Bridge:
In CAN bridge mode, the CAN@net NT enables communication between two separate CAN networks over Ethernet. This mode is useful when integrating two geographically separated CAN systems or when using different CAN baud rates between networks.

4. Working with Action Rules:
Action rules are customizable functions that allow you to define how messages are handled and routed between CAN networks when the CAN@net NT is used as a gateway or bridge. You can apply specific conditions and actions to control the flow of data between the networks.
