CMulti-console and Synchronized Backup 359

Network Type

This setting adjusts the timeout period before a backup device will take control from the master.
•Standard - After five seconds of no response from the master, the backup will assume the
master has disconnected and will then take control.
•Engineered - After 1.6 seconds of no response from the master, the backup will assume the
master has disconnected and will then take control.

Change IP Address

All Ion consoles by default have the same static IP address. All Ion RPUs also, by default, have the
same static IP address. A full list of ETC network IP address is available at www.etcconnect.com/
wiki.
Default Ion Console IP Address: 10.101.100.101
Default Ion RPU IP Address:10.101.95.101
Each Ion device on the network should be given a unique IP address. If running multiple devices of
the same type (for example - two consoles, or two RPUs), you must alter the default static IP
addresses to ensure proper functionality.
Changing the static IP address is done through the ECU (see Network Settings, page 340), on the
“Network” page. Manually change the IP address of any non-primary Ion device by clicking in the IP
Address field and entering the new number from the keyboard. When done, press [Enter].
Note:
It is recommended that you alter the very last digit of the static IP address by an
increment of one for each additional Ion device on the network. Therefore, if the
master ends in “101”, change the backup to end in “102”, a client to end in “103”
and so on.
