Same IP Address on Multiple DeviceMasters

If you use duplicate IP addresses for DeviceMasters that the

Detection Type

is set to REMOTE,

you may lose the DeviceMaster connection completely. Make sure that the DeviceMasters are
not daisy-chained to another.

1.

Right-click the DeviceMasters in the Device Tree or Device List pane, which you want to
assign the IP addresses and then click Assign IP to Multiple Devices (optionally, use
the Manage menu).

2.

If you want to assign the same IP address to all units, click Use the same IP address for

all the selected devices.

3.

Click Yes to the Assign Duplicate IP popup message.

4.

Enter the IP address that you want programmed into the DeviceMasters.

5.

Click Proceed.

6.

After programming the network information, you need to verify that you have the

latest

version of SocketServer

loaded before performing any other DeviceMaster configuration

procedures.

You can use the Web Interface tab if you need to configure socket or serial tunneling settings or
you can use the

Webpage

feature. Optionally, you can modify socket or serial tunneling settings

using the

Software Settings

tab if you are familiar with the parameters.
