Figure 11: Assigning
an IP and a Profile to a
given Adapter (by MAC
Address)
Note that the MAC address must be typed putting a colon ":" to separate the
bytes. You cannot assign the same IP to two different dLAN 200 DSpro adapters
running at the same time.
Once you have all entered all of the dLAN 200 DSpro adapters in the list, con-
nect the one that will become master to your computer and the rest through the
powerline. Then switch them all on and wait for the DHCP requests to appear.
At startup time, all dLAN 200 DSpro adapters behave as slaves. Then they will
search for a connection to the DHCP server, through Ethernet or PLC, and they
will finally be configured (one as master and the rest as slaves).
If everything is properly configured, the master will request an IP first and then
all of the slaves will also request an IP. The DHCP server reports the time and
date of the last request in the static leases list.
If any of the dLAN 200 DSpro adapters does not get an IP, the possible causes
are:
쐃
The MAC address is mistyped.
쐇
The dLAN 200 DSpro adapter does not have the factory default configura-
tion.
쐋
The dLAN 200 DSpro adapter is not linked to the master.
If none of the slaves gets an IP, the probable cause is that the master was not
properly configured. If the master node does not become the master, the slaves
will never be able to find a PLC signal to link to.
