Pluto User Manual v1.38
Page 16 of 66
If a Pluto is on a different subnet* to
the controlling host workstation it will
still identify itself but it will not be
controllable. In such a case the label
Domain Mismatch!
will be shown
against the unit.
*i.e. the first three digits of the IP
addresses do not match.
Normally the Pluto's will identify themselves to the GUI even if they are
configured to be on a different domain. This is a useful feature to allow you to at
least find where Pluto's are connected but without special network configuration
it is not possible to control them properly until they are all configured for
matching domains.
In the “Edit->Preferences” menu of the Pluto GUI it is possible to turn off the
broadcast discovery feature and configure the application to talk to a specific IP
address. This can also be useful in more advanced installations where it might
be desirable e.g. to limit a workstation so that it can only control a particular
Pluto.
For the normal case we suggest that the “Listen to Broadcast” checkbox in this
menu is left checked and if you have any special requirements please contact us
at “
” where we will be happy to help with more advance
requirements.
