Duplicate IP Address Detection
While connected to your network, the ETG publishes its IP address. To
avoid any duplicate IP address conflicts, the ETG uses the Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) to see if any other device on your network is
using the same IP address. Table 3 below explains how the ETG handles a
duplicate IP address when it is detected.
