model mover, and it has been set up to have the same IP, 192.168.1.237 as
the present Ultibox mounted on the Bolt arm.
Changing IP Addresses
The facility to change an IP address is built into the system, but to work it
must have the board you want to change already loaded.
If you find that whatever you do the new board does not appear, try
cycling the power to the network hub. Sometimes a hub may not “look”
for any additional devices unless rebooted.
Unfortunately, you cannot load two identical IP boards and then change
one, you have to load the incorrect board by doing a Find with other
boards not connected, to find its IP, then set that IP in the Network setup
screen, with its duplicated IP board disconnected. When you are
connected to it you can change the IP in Network Setups to a new IP and
press Set IP to make that the IP address Flair looks for, and press Burn IP
to burn that IP into the new board.
Once you have a new IP address burnt into the new board, put a new
label on it for future reference, and you should then be able to plug back
in any boards that were unplugged before making the change.
The list of IP addresses and boards loaded in sequence will be found in
the Network.ini file.
Because you now have the new board written into your Flair.ini it will try
to load every time you load Flair, and will give you a warning saying it did
not load if it is not plugged in on later shoots. Of course this does not
matter as the rest of the network will still work, you just need to know
Flair looked for it and did not find it.
Network Status
Under the Status heading in Network Setup, ‘Connected’ appears if it is
connected and being used by an axis in Flair. If it says ‘Unassigned’ it
means it is connected but you have not assigned that board to any axis in
Flair. Example, you have just added a node to be node 3 as a Quad box,
but you have no axis assigned to Network Node 3 in the Flair Screen. You
will need to assign your axes to that node for them to work.
There are coloured blobs in the bottom right of the Flair screen. A red
blob means its not connected to that node, a blue blob means its
connected but not assigned, a green blob means its connected and in use
by an axis.
