Hello,
i have 3 EZB4 Controller.
I try to connect all Controller as Clients in my network.
If i connect 1x EZB4 "192.168.178.21" everything works.
If i connect 2x EZB4 "192.168.178.21 + 22" i get only the web interface from the first one "21". I also find only one the "21" in the EZB Software - not more!
The same with 3x EZB4
To my Router:
I check this situation with two diffrent routers Fritzbox 7330 and Fritzbox 6840.
I see ALL 3 x EZB4 Controllers correct conneted in the WLAN! But only the "21" Controller Web Interface works!
I set the channel settings from the first EZB to 1, from the second to 2 and from the third to 3.
I dont know.
I only can connect 1x EZB as a client to my network! Not more!
So what is the problem?
Thanx a lot!
Boris
Sorry, I don't get this. I thought the EZ-B's had their own hard coded MAC addresses that can't be changed, so how can someone be using multiple boards with just the one, same MAC address? I don't know much about this subject, and I don't understand how this issue was resolved.
@Steve... I think you are confusing the ezb's unique ID# given to it when it's initially programmed at the factory and the ip address given to it when it connects to your network... For instance (as mentioned) I gave one of my ezbs a static ip address of 192.168.225.102 (this is what Boris did as well).... This means it is reserved for this particular device only (my ezb)... even when this ezb is offline 192.168.225.102 will not be used by or handed out to any other device entering my network.... It's a reserved ip address...
@Steve
no the EZB4`s has still there own MAC Adress, but the FritzBox makes problem if i connect all EZB4 automaticly. I must connect each EZB4 with a fixed IP Adress to the FritzBox and this i do with the individual MAC Adress from each EZB4.
In the End I have saved 3 EZB4 with fixed diffrent IP Adresses and diffrent MAC Adresses!
I think this is a typical FritzBox Problem, i never tryed with netgear or diffrent router.
Boris
No, I'm not confusing the MAC address with the IP address. The MAC address is already hard coded to the v4's, and the IP addresses are either automatically assigned or manually changed via a router. That I know.
To me, this looked like Boris said that he was using one MAC address for multiple boards a he only referenced to "this MAC address", not their addresses which I didn't understand.
Thanks for clearing that up Boris. It's a lot clearer now. Just a shame this fix didn't work for me as I've tried for hours now with still no luck. Thanks again, and I'm pleased to hear you got your connection issues sorted.
@Steve
so you have problems to connect 2x EZB with a router?
Which Router you use?
Boris
Yeah you could say that. It's a Virgin Media Superhub 2. I started a new thread that you can read abouthere where Alan and Richard have tried to help me out. It's giving me an absolute headache trying to get this sodding thing sorted out.
