Dennis Laff Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 If you used a temporary ip address to access board and did not assign new address you have to force temporary address again ,when you power board down without permanent address you lose the temporary address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zvacman Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Dennis: I used the IP 192.168.1.206 that the controller was sent with. I was going to change it but I didn't. Is the IP it comes with temporary? When I get home from work tonight I am going to try to do a #5 force IP and see what happens. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mike That's the default IP address of the controller. It's permanent (unless you change it) and will not change when the power cycles. You do not need to change it if your computer's ip address is in the same subnet. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mike I think this was asked earlier, but have you tried a different ethernet cable. An intermittent problem like that could easily be the cable. Any word from Jim yet?

zvacman Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 I have tried several different cables, homemade and store bought. Yes I did hear back from Jim right after the first controller connected, so I told him I would get back to him. I just don't get it. The controller sat on the workbench and literally did not get touched. I will try yet another cat5 cable when I get home. If I don't have this resolved by the end of the weekend they are going back to Sandevices. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 try to force ip again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zvacman Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 This is really getting weird. I got controller 1 to connect using 192.168.1.206, changed the IP to 192.168.1.207, updated the change. Then I exited the config page and tried to go back in and it won't connect. Checked the address on the controller using 1 and it blinks the correct address of 192.168.1.207 but it won't connect. Restarted the computer and tried again, page can't be displayed comes up. Tried another cat5 cable although the other one wasn't touched and still nothing. I would put an emoji of me beating my head against the wall in here but LOR won't let me. How in the world would it connect just fine and then nothing? I also tried doing a forced IP on both of them and still nothing. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zvacman Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 It keeps getting stanger. I can connect only by forcing the controller. I even put the default IP address in and updating it. Exit the config page and it won't connect without forcing the controller. What the heck? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 After you got in using the forced ip you enterd the new IP address ,on bottom page did you click on restart controller that's has to be done to change IP address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zvacman Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yes. If I leave the address as the default (192.168.1.206) it is fine. If I change it to (192.168.1.207) it won't connect until I do another force. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zvacman Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 How long should a restart the controller take? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Enter new IP address. Update system. Restart controller. Close page type in new IP address page should reappear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zvacman Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) The controllers will not let me change the IP addresses of either one. When I change them they won't connect without forcing the 192.168.1.206 address again. If I leave them at 192.168.1.206 they connect no problem.

saxon Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 sorry, I missed that... I agree, it seems his address is not being saved properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zvacman Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Good news. Both controllers are connecting with their new IP addresses. For some reason they wouldn't accept an IP address that ended in an odd number. Also just updating wouldn't save the new address, I had to update then restart the controller then update again. So for now all is good in the workshop. Thanks everybody. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
