Networking Best Practices

Connecting components using an Ethernet network enables advanced Axient features such as automatic frequency

assignment, remote control and monitoring, and interference avoidance. Adding a computer to the network allows you to

run Wireless Workbench

6 (WWB6) to control and monitor devices on the network.

Axient components feature the following network specifications:

Use the following best practices when setting up a network to ensure reliable communication:

• Always use a "star" network topology

• Use only 1 DHCP enabled server per network. Disable DHCP addressing on additional servers

• When using an AXT620 Ethernet Switch, turn on the switch first before turning on additional components connected

to the network

• To expand the network, use multiple Ethernet switches in a star topology

• Connect each device directly to the port of an Ethernet switch. Avoid "daisy-chaining" Ethernet port connections

between devices for larger networks.

• Do not loop network connections

• All networked devices must be set to the same subnet mask

• All devices must be at the same firmware revision level, with the exception of the AXT620 Ethernet Switch
