WEBs CIPer MODEL 50 – USER GUIDE
Network switching mode
Optionally, the Dual Ethernet can be operated in network switching mode.
If this mode is desired, disable one of the Ethernet ports in Niagara – see screenshot below.
Typical application scenarios are a closed BMS networks, like for daisy-chaining plant controllers
or daisy-chaining room controllers on Ethernet.
NOTE: The switching functionality will not work during power-fail of the CIPer 50 controller.
Important: Set a gateway address
For the Ethernet switching functionality to work, it is mandatory that you enter a Gateway address.
If there is no gateway in the subnet, then use a gateway address that relates to the IP address of the Ethernet
adapter that is enabled.
In the screenshot below, the gateway address is 192.168.1.1, hence the IP address of Ethernet adapter 1 must
be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.255.
