6.2.2 MVX dynamic address mode
This is the simplest case: MVX IP address is arbitrary because chosen by the DHCP
server.
MVX user does not use this IP address.
He names each MVX with its “Hostname”, which is in fact its serial number.
When MVX is running with an Ethernet port programmed in dynamic address mode,
the led in the high & left corner of the RJ45 socket is light on in GREEN.
6.2.3 MVX fixed address mode
Reminder: When MVX is set up in dynamic addressing mode and when no DHCP
server exists at the same time on the network, then MVX chooses an IP free address
in the range 169.254.x.y on its B port, right side. In this case use also MVX serial
number as « hostname » to address it.
In order to connect several MVX on a fixed IP addresses network, you have
beforehand:
To define the MVX list with the serial number and the IP address of each.
To connect each MVX with a PC in a « point to point » network, in order to
assign its fix address.
This operation may be achieved with CAST toolbox which is delivered together with
MVX.
Start CAST toolbox in the “expert” mode (password needed)
Enter the MVX serial number or its “old” IP address
Click on the “connect to MVX” button
Choose the “configuration” page
In the “Set fixed IP address” area:
o choose the MVX port that you want to use: A port (left), or B port (right)
o Enter the new IP address
o Enter the subnet mask
o Enter the default gateway
o Click on "configure"
This may cause MVX re-boot.
When MVX is running with an Ethernet port programmed in fixed address mode, the
led in the high & left corner of the RJ45 socket is light on in RED.
