Trying to use 3 universes together [fixed]

Post by autogedrocht »

So far:

When i have the 3 Net512 with DHCP, there are 3 universes shown in sweetlight. But my router has some difficulites recognizing them. The router sees 2 Net512 units, but gives 1 unit 2 IP adresses, so in total 3 ip adresses.

When i have DHCP off, and I manually set the 3 Net512 units to different ip adresses (and mac adresses), Sweetlight only sees 1 universe.


I would rather work without DHCP, cause if dont want changing ip adresses and i have to change them in Sweetlight. It needs to be plug & play.
But without DHCP i cant manage to get it working properly with the software.

I use the newest Sweetlight version. I can look up the serialcode, but the units are mounted, so i have to unmount them so see the seriel at the bottom of the device. Unmounting is some work, so i prefer not to when its not necessary.

Are there some settings in the router i should be aware of?

Please check the interfaces have different MAC addresses.

With DHCP off, please try to enter the IP of each interface manually, in the "Preferences" of the software.
