Using Multiple PXL Networks on the Same LAN Subnet
If two or more PXL Networks using RS-485 over Ethernet exist on the same local subnet, it is
recommended that each LAN-520X Master have a different Channel 2 port number.
For each PXL Network, change the Channel 2 Port setting on the LAN-520X Master and Slaves to a
unique number. It is recommended that the port number be incremented by one digit for each
network. The first network’s LAN-520X Master Channel 2 Port is set to 10002, next Port is 10003,
etc. Next, change each of the Channel 2 Remote IP Address for the LAN-520X Slaves to correspond
to their LAN-520X Master’s Port number (see Figure 7).
