Dual Ethernet Connection (for iX7™ Only)
An iX7 device has two Ethernet (LAN) ports:
™

ETH 10/100/1000 (marked in
is "ETH1".

ETH 10/100 (marked in
"ETH2".
For more information on the two ports, see
(on page 95).
You can connect both ports to
obtain two IP addresses for wired networking. It is strongly
recommended that you DO NOT connect both ports to the same subnet to
avoid potential issues. Contact your IT department if you are not sure
whether the two Ethernet ports are connecting to the same or different
subnets.
Exception: A USB-cascading chain must connect to "only one" network.
Do NOT connect both Ethernet ports of an iX7
the LAN. See
Cascading Multiple PX3TS Devices for Sharing Ethernet
(on page 28).
Connectivity
Check list when connecting both ports to the networks:

Both Ethernet interfaces are connecting to different subnets.

Both Ethernet interfaces have been enabled. By default both are

enabled. See
Settings
(on page 272).

Both Ethernet interfaces are configured with proper IPv4 and/or IPv6
Wired Network Settings
settings. See

It is NOT required that the two Ethernet interfaces share similar
network settings. For example, you can enable IPv4 settings in
one interface but enable IPv6 settings in the other, or apply
static IP to one but DHCP IP to the other.
