DP2000 Re-Addressing itself

Hi Everyone. Here is the system that we are running currently:

Hog3 Rack Mount - running as primary console and server V3.0.1
Hog3 Full Console - running as programming console V3.0.1
5-DP2000's
1- I/O Processor

Upon startup today, the DP2000 that should have been set to Net #3 had changed itself to #5. This unit is located in a area that would be difficult for anyone to just get to and re-address it.

Has anyone had this issue? Thanks.

I am wondering if there is a DHCP lease time expiration issue here?

If two DPs get assigned the same IP at different times due to the DHCP lease expiring....could one reset itself and copy the settings from another?

Pure speculation on my part, but you never know.

You might try giving your DPs all static IPs. I personally do this as standard practice, and only let network clients that come and go have IPs assigned via DHCP.
