3.4.2 Installing Multiple Transpector SPS Sensors

Each Transpector SPS is shipped with an identical default IP address. When
installing multiple Transpector SPS, the IP address of each Transpector SPS must
be changed one at a time so that each Transpector SPS has a unique IP address.

3.4.2.1 Installing Multiple Transpector SPS Directly to a Host Computer

A private local network must be created when multiple Transpector SPS sensors
are connected to a single host computer instead of an existing local area network.
Transpector SPS must be installed on either a router or Ethernet switch. The router
or switch is connected to the host computer through the LAN port of the
router/switch.

3.4.2.2 Installing Multiple Transpector SPS on an Existing Local Network

Use an Ethernet switch instead of a router when multiple Transpector SPS sensors
are connected to an existing local network.
Since Transpector SPS sensors are network connected devices, each sensor must
have an IP address assigned to it by a network administrator. After changing each
IP address manually, connect all of the sensors to the Ethernet switch and connect
the switch to the local network.

CAUTION
Do not connect multiple Transpector SPS to a network
without first changing the IP addresses. Otherwise, there
will be IP address conflicts on the network.
CAUTION
Routers can cause conflicts with local networks because
the router will attempt to set IP addresses for all network
connected devices.
