Assigning the target controller IP address programmatically

Post by Sergei Troizky »

There are several similar machines, different only in IP addresses.
Is it possible to read a display own IP address on boot, and use it to assign the necessary target controller IP address?

Hi Sergie,
You are able to map the IP addresses to appropriate contollers using a ".db" file and upload it to the iX project. You can write a script to check/align IPs with Controllers on startup. If an IP address were to change on a panel, the panel will reboot with the correct mapping indicated from the ".db" file.
