Transpector XPR 3+ Operating Manual
CAUTION
Since FabGuard uses the IP address to identify each
connected Transpector XPR 3+, the IP address must not
change during operation of Transpector XPR 3+.
Using DHCP, the host may generate a new IP address
every time Transpector XPR 3+ is taken offline and then
returns online.
DHCP may also change the IP address automatically if
there is an IP address conflict on the network.
If the Transpector XPR 3+ IP address is randomly
changed during data acquisition, FabGuard will not
automatically reconnect to the Transpector XPR 3+
sensor because it does not know the newly assigned
IP address. This will lead to loss of communication and
loss of data.
Static IP addresses do not change unless the IP address
is manually changed. Static IP addresses help protect
Transpector XPR 3+ from losing communication and
data.
Transpector XPR 3+ uses IPv4 IP addresses. IPv4 IP addresses consist of 32 bits
that are traditionally displayed in dot-decimal notation which consists of four
decimal numbers each ranging from 0 to 255 separated by dots. An example of an
IP address in dot-decimal notation would be 192.168.1.100. Each part represents
an octet. Normally, the IP address consists of a Network Prefix and a Host Protocol.
