GEN series IP adress setup
Example setup:
GEN3i network 1: 192.168.1.10 mask 255.255.255.0
GEN3i network 2:
192.168.2.10 mask 255.255.255.0
GEN3i network 3:
192.168.3.10 mask 255.255.255.0
QuantumX module 1:
192.168.1.11 mask 255.255.255.0
QuantumX module 2:
192.168.2.11 mask 255.255.255.0
QuantumX module 3:
192.168.3.11 mask 255.255.255.0
Background network details
IfthenetworkportsareconguredforDHCPsetup,eachoftheconnectionsusing
theAPIPAprotocoltondafreeIPaddress.Asnoneofthenetworkportsarelinked
together the APIPA protocol does not detect the address used any of the network
devices in this setup. At random all QuantumX systems might end up with exactly the
same network IP address. If this happens the systems are not uniquely addressable
anymore and the communication fails.
