Reviewing a controller’s TCP/IP changes

The Commissioning Wizard and platform’s TCP/IP Configuration object configure controller TCP/IP settings. Workbench records TCP/IP before and after the change values in an ipchanges.bog file. If necessary, you can review these changes.

You are working in Workbench with a connection to the remote controller.
  1. Expand Platform and double-click TCP/IP Configuration.
    TCP/IP Configuration view opens.

  2. Click the Audit button.
    The ipchanges.bog folder’s AX Property Sheet opens.

    Child folders are date-named using the following convention:

    <yyyymmddhhmmss>, where the variable name contains year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds; for example, d20250113153640 for 2025 Jan 13 3:36pm and 40 seconds.

    • priorValue reports the TCP/IP settings that existed before the change.

    • newValue reports the TCP/IP settings that existed after the change.

  3. Expand the folder and expand either priorValue or newValue.

    The included decoded modTime value is easier to read. For example, 13-Jan-2024 03:36 PM EST instead of d20150113153640).
