I have, on a couple of occasions so far, had to connect visiting consoles to my lighting network and have the following problem:
If the visiting console is running a DHCP server, when I connect one of my Net2 2-port nodes it will get an IP address from the visiting console, even though the node is configured with a static IP address suitable for my lighting system.
Since the IP address that the node is assigned is usually in the 192.168.xxx.xxx or 172.xx.xx.xx range, I have to change my computer settings in order to communicate with the node with NCE and configure it.
Is there any way to make sure that a Net 2 node keeps its static IP address even if there's a DHCP server on the network? The NCE 4.3 documentation doesn't seem to have an answer and there's no longer any documentation for the Net2 nodes on the ETC website.
