CAUTION
Since FabGuard
connected Transpector MPH, the IP address must not
change during operation of Transpector MPH.
Using DHCP, the host may generate a new IP address
every time Transpector MPH is taken offline and then
returns online.
DHCP may also change the IP address automatically if
there is an IP address conflict on the network.
If the Transpector MPH IP address is randomly changed
during data acquisition, FabGuard will not automatically
reconnect to the Transpector MPH sensor because it
does not know the newly assigned IP address. This will
lead to loss of communication and loss of data.
Static IP addresses do not change unless the IP address
is manually changed. Static IP addresses help protect
Transpector MPH from losing communication and data.
Transpector MPH uses IPv4 IP addresses. IPv4 IP addresses consist of 32 bits
that are traditionally displayed in dot-decimal notation which consists of four
decimal numbers each ranging from 0 to 255 separated by dots. An example of an
IP address in dot-decimal notation would be 192.168.1.100. Each part represents
an octet. Normally, the IP address consists of a Network Prefix and a Host Protocol.
