Multihome IP (global)
You can assign up to two other IP addresses for the ip.buffer. This allows connection with a
device that is physically on the same Ethernet network, but is not on the same IP subnet.
The Multihome IP setting module is also available from within the TCP Source
module. Effectively, a copy of the settings can be seen and edited there.
Please note that the settings are
global
and apply to all channels.

[255.255.255.0]
For example, if the PBX has a fixed IP address of 192.0.2.3:
2
nd
IP = 192.0.2.4
2
nd
Subnet = 255.255.255.0
The PBX should be plugged into the same hub/switch as the ip.buffer
The ip.buffer can now connect directly to the PBX (or the PBX can access the
ip.buffer on its extra address of 192.0.2.4)
Only the primary address is visible to SEDiscover and only the primary address
can use DHCP. The 2
nd
and 3
rd
IP addresses are meant for accessing devices
that cannot be brought onto the LAN (e.g. they have a fixed IP address)
