WARNING: Conflicting IP address detected!
IP address 10.125.123.95 also used by device with MAC address
00 04 5A CC 10 41!
Clear IP conflict history (y/n):
Figure 46: IP Address conflict.
As useful information the MAC address of the conflicting host is shown. If the information
about this conflict shall be cleared, hit ‘y’. If ‘n’ is selected, the conflict will show up again
the next time this menu is entered.
6 - Enhanced Communications Test
This menu item allows testing the communication path between L-IP devices. It tests the
CEA-852 data communication. This test can be used to determine if there is a working
TCP/IP connection as well as a working CEA-852 connection between the individual
devices.
A typical console output is shown in Figure 47.

Figure 47: Enhanced communication test console output.
The round-trip value (RTT) is measured as the time a packet sent to the peer device needs
to be routed back to the L-IP. It is a measure for general network delay. If the test to a
specific member fails a text is displayed to describe the possible source of the problem. The
reasons for failure are summarized in Table 5.
A warning “Incorrect NAT configuration detected!” is displayed if the enhanced
communications test determines that the L-IP is operated behind a NAT router, but it has no
NAT address configured. In this case go to the IP configuration menu and configure the
correct NAT address or set it to Auto-NAT.
