How do I change the IP address of a Gibraltar Mix Engine?

Instructions for editing the IP settings on a Gibraltar Mix Engine are in the Gibraltar Network Manual, Appendix 1. Here's a link to the manual if you need it: 

 


Instructions for editing the IP addresses of earlier control surfaces are included in that Appendix but the procedure is different for the Dimension Three: connect to each CPU using a web browser. You'll see a web page form that you use to change the IP settin

User: knockknock

When you change the IP address of a Gibraltar Cage or a control surface with a backup CPU, make the settings identical for the Primary and Backup CPU with the exception of the name--the software doesn't care about their names. Each CPU will use the appropriate IP address based on its status. It'll use the Primary IP address if it's actively controlling the hardware and the Secondary IP address if it's in the backup role. For example, if the Primary CPU has the following settings:


NAME:CPU A
TIERID:1
NUMTIERS:6
IPADDR1:192.168.1.160
GATEWAY:255.255.255.255
SUBNET:255.255.255.0
BCAST:55555
FAILIP:192.168.1.161


The secondary CPU must have these settings (again, the name doesn't matter):


NAME:CPU B
TIERID:1
NUMTIERS:6
IPADDR1:192.168.1.160
GATEWAY:255.255.255.255
SUBNET:255.255.255.0
BCAST:55555
FAILIP:192.168.1.161


Once again, all settings must be identical, with the exception of the name.
