Same IP Address on Multiple DeviceMasters

If you use duplicate IP addresses for non-local DeviceMaster UPs, you may lose the
DeviceMaster UP connection completely.

1.

Right-click the DeviceMaster UPs in the 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 firmware

for your protocol loaded before performing any other configuration

procedures.

You can use the Web Interface tab to configure protocol settings or you can use the

Webpage

feature. Optionally, you can modify protocol settings using the

Software Settings

tab if you are

familiar with the parameters.
