Hi,
Just taken delivery of LAN Controller and 3 Ethernet PoE... love them... worked out of the box with no config to send IR around the house. Great. Significantly exceeded my expectations.
A few minor problems...hoping I can get some help with... first:
My network is using the IP address range 192.168.1.x - so all the devices defaulted to 192.168.0.32 on first power on. No problem used IR Trans IP Assign GUI to set them to use DHCP. When I press "set-IP" the DHCP server successfully gives each devices a 192.168.1.x address.
Then I logged into each device's web page and successfully reset passwords, set an NTP server address, timezone, DST etc. etc. Confirmed the "Use DHCP" check mark is there on the IP Settings page.
But when I power off any one of the devices it doesn't find the DHCP server the IP address resets back to 192.168.0.32 and I have to use IR Trans IP Assign GUI to get them to get a 192.168.1.x address.
I confirmed all other settings are stored correctly and do survive a power reset.
Is it because my DHCP server is on a different sub-net (192.168.1.x) to the one the IRTrans devices DHCP request is being sent from (192.168.0.x)? But I thought the whole point of DHCP is it shouldn't be constrained in this way...otherwise it DHCP wouldn't be much good!
My DHCP server successfully serves up IP addresses for 20+ other devices without problems.
Any ideas?
