Get Info IP Address?
« on: 2015-11-06, 20:38:14 »
The "Get From Device" button returns an IP address of 192.168.1.10 while the Net Info tab returns an IP address of 10.0.0.8. Why do these two IP addresses differ and how is the Net Info IP address set? The Get From Device button allows the address to be set and retrieved but can't figure out how the Net Info address got set or how to change it.

They differ if the unit is using DHCP. "Get from device" then shows the fixed IP (which would be in use if DHCP was turned off) while "Net info" shows the DHCP assigned IP address.
Always include type of hard/software and version when asking for support.
