Q & A , BASIC ETHERNET TROUBLESHOOTING
Questions and Answers:
What if I don’t have a DHCP service running?
You have to reserve and configure a (unique) address for every single SG-
20 Discovery.
How many Discoveries can I include?
Just as many IP addresses there are available.
What happens if I give two terminals the same address or the same address of
another device?
Both devices will respond to requests/commands simultaneously and
therefore will not operate properly.
How can I check if the IP address which I have chosen for the SG-20 terminal is
free?
Link the Discovery to the network and PING the device in a DOS box,
C:\> ping 192.137.81.210
a
Typical Response if there already was a device on that IP address
192.137.81.210:
