If the MAC address of your EZ-B IoTiny is the same as one of your other EZ-B v4 devices, it can cause network conflicts and make it difficult to connect. Here are some steps to resolve this issue:

Step 1: Isolate the Devices

  1. Power Off Other Devices: Temporarily power off the other EZ-B v4 device that has the same MAC address.
  2. Connect to IoTiny: Try connecting to the IoTiny again to see if the conflict is resolved.

Step 2: Change the MAC Address

Unfortunately, changing the MAC address on the EZ-B IoTiny directly is not a straightforward process. However, you can try the following workaround:

  1. Use a Different Network: Connect the IoTiny to a different Wi-Fi network (e.g., a guest network or a mobile hotspot) to avoid the conflict.
  2. Use a Network Switch: If you have a network switch, connect the IoTiny and the other EZ-B v4 to different ports on the switch. Some switches can handle MAC address conflicts better.

Step 3: Assign Static IP Addresses

  1. Log in to Your Router: Access your router's web interface.
  2. Assign Static IPs: Assign static IP addresses to both the IoTiny and the other EZ-B v4 device. This can sometimes help mitigate MAC address conflicts.
  3. Reboot Devices: Reboot both devices and try connecting again.

Step 4: Use a MAC Address Cloning Feature

Some routers have a feature called MAC address cloning, which allows you to change the MAC address of a device on the network. Check your router's settings to see if this feature is available and use it to assign a unique MAC address to the IoTiny.

Step 5: Contact Synthiam Support

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to contact Synthiam support for further assistance. They can provide more detailed troubleshooting and support for your specific situation.

Additional Tips

  • Network Isolation: If possible, isolate the IoTiny on a separate network to avoid conflicts.
  • Firmware Update: Ensure that both the IoTiny and the other EZ-B v4 device have the latest firmware updates.

Please let me know if any of these steps help or if you need further assistance.

It sounds like the IP address you found might be a private IP address, which is typical for devices connected to a local network. Private IP addresses usually fall within specific ranges, such as:

  • 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
  • 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
  • 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

If the IP address looks unusual or doesn't fall within these ranges, it might be an issue with the network configuration. Here are some steps to verify and correct the IP address:

Step 1: Verify the IP Address

  1. Check the IP Address Format: Ensure the IP address is in the correct format (e.g., 192.168.1.100). It should consist of four octets separated by periods.
  2. Check the IP Range: Verify that the IP address falls within the private IP address ranges mentioned above.

Step 2: Reconnect to the IoTiny

  1. Power Cycle the IoTiny: Turn off the IoTiny, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
  2. Reconnect to the IoTiny's Wi-Fi: Connect to the IoTiny's Wi-Fi network (e.g., EZ-B v4 xxxxx) using your computer or mobile device.

Step 3: Access the Web Server

  1. Open a Web Browser: Enter the IP address you found in the address bar of your web browser.
  2. Log In: Use the default credentials (username: admin, password: EZ-Robot) to log in to the IoTiny's web server.

Step 4: Check Network Settings

  1. Navigate to Wi-Fi Settings: In the web server interface, go to the Wi-Fi settings.
  2. Verify IP Configuration: Ensure the IoTiny is set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) or has a valid static IP address within your network's range.

Step 5: Assign a Static IP Address

  1. Set a Static IP: If the IP address looks unusual, you can manually set a static IP address within your network's range. For example, if your router's IP is 192.168.1.1, you can set the IoTiny's IP to 192.168.1.100.
  2. Save and Reboot: Save the settings and reboot the IoTiny.

Step 6: Use Network Tools

  1. Network Scanner: Use a network scanning tool like Fing or Advanced IP Scanner to verify the IP address and ensure it is correctly assigned.
  2. Ping the IP Address: Open a command prompt or terminal and use the ping command to check if the IP address is reachable (e.g., ping 192.168.1.100).

Step 7: Check Router Settings

  1. Log In to Your Router: Access your router's web interface.
  2. Check Connected Devices: Look for the IoTiny in the list of connected devices and verify its IP address.

Step 8: Contact Synthiam Support

If the IP address still looks unusual or you cannot connect, it may be best to contact Synthiam support for further assistance. They can provide more detailed troubleshooting and support for your issue.

Please let me know if any of these steps help or if you need further assistance.
