IP Setup Modes
There are two different modes by which a scan head can obtain an IP address:
- Static IP - lets – lets you set the IP address directly
- BaseIP + ID - the – the effective IP address is computed by adding the ID to the BaseIP Base IP address
In either mode, all scan heads must have a unique effective IP address on the network.

In almost all cases, it is preferable to use BaseIP + ID. In installations with multiple scan heads, each head will need to "know" it's own its ID so that it can apply the relevant sections in a parameter file. By using BaseIP + ID, you can structure your parameter file (param.dat) in a way that easily groups heads into zones, allows for staggering and lets you re-use fixture definitions. |

The concept of Base IP BaseIP + ID doesn't really exist in TCP/IP networking. From a networking perspective, each head responds to it's its effective IP address, and the base IP address is meaningless. To check if a particular head is on-lineonline, you can use the 'ping' tool on the effective IP address. The developer toolkits for C/C++ and .NET/C# provide calls to connect to heads based on a Base IP address and Cable IDs, ; however, the underlying code all operates on effective IP addresses. The Cable ID is a piece of information that the scan head itself is aware of , and uses it to determine it's its timing settings for staggered scanning setup, which calibration fixture to use and what parameters to apply. |
Example
In the screenshot above, the the IP Setup selected is "Base IP + ID". The Base IP Address is 192.168.1.150 200 and "Current ID" is 0; therefore, therefore the Final (Effective) IP Address of the scanner highlighted in blue is 192.168.1.150200.
If it was necessary to make the Cable ID 14:
