Changing EIB IP

To change the IP, there must be done two steps.

• Change the IP in the EIB itself
• Change the IP in the configuration file, otherwise the PXIs will not connect, send and/or receive data from the EIB.

Change the IP in the EIB

To change the IP in the EIB:

• Open the EIB tool "EIBApplication.exe" in a computer with access to the EIB network. This tools works on windows machines
• Connect to the EIB using the EIB IP 139.229.161.50
• Update the configuration from the EIB.
• Change the network parameters in the configuration window
• To change the configuration, just click in the Value of the Parameter that needs to be updated
• Write the configuration to the EIB
• Reset the EIB so that the new configuration takes effect.
