5.2.2 Avoiding IP Address conflicts

When building a system that is comprised of a mixture of cards from different sources, there is a

possibility that some of the cards will have duplicate IP addresses, thereby making

communication with these cards unreliable.

There are two recommendations for addressing this problem. The first is to use a DHCP server

to ensure that each card gets a unique address. The second is to use the web interface on the

COM46 cards to change the IP address of one of the duplicate cards (refer to Section 1.1 for

more information).

It should also be noted that, depending upon your computer’s network configuration, attempting

to access a property’s wireless network at the same time you are accessing the COM46 cards

could also give the undesirable result of not being able to navigate to your COM46 cards with

the web browser. If you are suddenly unable to even see your COM46 cards in a system that was

not previously exhibiting any IP address conflicts, you may wish to disable the wireless interface

temporarily and see if that helps.

5.3 Using a TFTP Server

Note: While the previous generation of COM1000 components required access to an external or

party FTP or TFTP server for SW upgrades and uploading license keys, COM46 cards are

equipped with an in system TFTP server that can be used for SW upgrades of the entire system

directly from your browser. See Section 7 for details.

While you do have the option of using your choice of either FTP or TFTP to transfer data

between the management PC and the COM2000 system, it is recommended that you use a TFTP

program. TFTP is greatly simplified over FTP, the biggest difference being that it does not

require user/password authentication, which are not necessary to access the COM2000 system in

the first place (providing password protection for the web server has not been enabled, see

Section 6.12).

Note: This section will describes procedures specific to the previously mentioned Tftpd32.

5.3.1 Determining Your IP Address

In order to configure your TFTP server properly, you first need to know the IP address that your

computer is using to communicate with the COM46 cards.

The following steps describe a fairly simple process that will be useful in determining where to

send file transfers containing software upgrades (see Section 7) and also where to direct

streaming video to test your system (see Section 1.1).

As seen in Figure 16, you will first need to access the Start Menu, type “cmd.exe” in the search

bar at the bottom of the screen and press Enter.
