Dual Ethernet Connection

One PX3TS device has two Ethernet (LAN) ports:
•
ETH 10/100/1000 (marked in green) supports up to 1000 Mbps. This is
"ETH1".
•
ETH 10/100 (marked in white) supports up to 100 Mbps. This is "ETH2".
For more information on the two ports, see .
You can connect both ports to different subnets (networks) and therefore
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 any PX3TS master or slave device to the LAN. See
Cascading Multiple PX3TS Devices for Sharing Ethernet Connectivity
27).
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 Device Info (on page 155) and
314).
•
Both Ethernet interfaces are configured with proper IPv4 and/or IPv6
settings. See Wired Network Settings
▪
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.
•
The cascading mode is disabled. By default it is disabled. See
Cascading Mode (on page 328).
You can initially configure the PX3TS via one of the following:
•
A TCP/IP network that supports DHCP
•
A mobile device with PDView installed
•
A computer physically connected to the PX3TS
Configuration via a DHCP-enabled network:
1. Connect the PX3TS to a DHCP IPv4 network. See
Your Network (on page 13).
2. Retrieve the DHCP-assigned IPv4 address. Use the front panel LCD display
to retrieve it.
