Programming
Programing is all done thru the Web-GUI. Enter the ANI-8WP IP address in a compatible browser to enter the programming section. To
nd the IP address, follow the instructions in the section below.
Find the ANI-8WP IP address
The program ANI-8WP-GUI_v2000.exe can be used to discover the IP address of the ANI-8WP or to change its IP settings. Download the
software from www.A-NeuVideo.com with le name ANI-8WP-GUI_v2000.exe and save it in a directory where you can access it later.
Connect the Control System with a PC/Laptop through the Ethernet port of an active network system and open the ANI-8WP-GUI_v2000.
exe. Click on “Find Devices” on the Network and a list of the devices connected to the “Control System” will show up.
Note: The default IP setting is 192.168.1.50 and set the Static IP or DHCP via the IP mode of ANI-8WP-GUI_v2000. Click “Save” then
“Reboot” for any changes you make to take affect.
The user may use the IP Address to nd the control device through Telnet or the WebGUI tools.

Extension Macro
Click on ‘Extension Macro’ to execute/edit up to (8) more Macro actions.
A macro can have (16) commands, and if you need to save more than (16) commands to a macro, you can save some commands to an
extension Macro and keep a command in Macro for “MACRO RUN X” to call an extension macro. For instance, if you want to run (20)
commands, you can save (15) to a Macro, say Macro 1 and the other (5) commands to an Extension Macro, say Extension Macro 11.
Then you save “MACRO RUN 11” as the last command of Macro (1) to call the commands saved in the Extension Macro. After all these
are done, the (20) commands saved will start to run when you press the button Macro 1.

KEY SETTINGS
The Toggle function is when you press a button to execute one series of functions and then press it a second time to execute another
series of functions. It is a new function and may not be in the manual. Below are the steps to enable this function.
Turn the LED ON and OFF on the 3rd button for instance.
1. Go to ‘Key Settings’ and turn on “Toggle” for Button 3
2. The command to turn ON the red LED is “LEDRED 3 100\x0d\x0a” and the one to turn it OFF is “LEDRED 3 0\x0d\x0a”. Make sure
you have saved these two commands in “Command Settings”.
3. In ‘Macro Settings’, save “LEDRED 3 100\x0d\x0a” to Button 3.
4. In ‘Extension Macro’, save “LEDRED 3 0\x0d\x0a” to Button 11.
After saving the settings, when you press Button 3 the rst time, the red LED will be ON, and when you press it a second time, the LED
will be OFF.
When you turn on the toggle function for a button, the rst time you press the button, the commands saved in the Macro Settings will be
executed, and the second time you press the button, the commands saved in the Extension Macro will be executed.
The buttons you see in Macro settings are mapped with those you see in the Extension Macros. That is, Button 1’s Extension Macro is
Button 9, Button 2’s is Button 10, etc.
