Net2 node discovery

seeing that this node has the default IP are you sure that it's unique?

Yes, I'm pretty sure. There aren't many devices connected. Here's a screen shot of the routing table and ping info. Only 5 net2 devices and internal stuff.

 

I just noticed that the two nodes that are on right now, plus the node in question, are using the missing nodes IP as a gateway. Is that maybe part of the problem why the NCE can't see it?

 

Thanks! [:)]

Figured it out; that node was operating in Net1 mode. Now it's switched to Net2 and was discovered.

For the kicker.... How do I revert Net2 nodes into Net1? Whoops; we have an Express console, so Net2 is useless.

So somewhere around included with your Express console would have been a floppy disk called "Remote Interface Disk". Put that in your console, turn it off and then back on. It will reboot and load the software from the disk, then I think you should be able to use the "discover nodes" soft key to return the node to Net1 mode.

(It's been a very long time since I did this so let us know if that works!)

How does one get this software if the disk can't be located. Looked in our manual and only have the console 3.1 disk. Doesn't show up in a search of the ETC site either. Hmmmmm. Any body got a shareable link to the correct "Remote Interface Disk" software? Thanks!

It's actually included on the download from our site also :

Open up the downloaded zip file and inside is a file called "run.bin". Put that on a floppy disk (by itself) and that should do the job.
