IP address for 2nd Duet
-
I have A Duet2 working well with a CNC router, I am so impressed with WIFI connection that I am thinking of converting another machine and purchasing another controller.
If I am setting up a 2nd controller with the same Wi-fi network does YAT select a separate IP address? -
I'm running two duets with no issues on the same network. I did nothing during setup, ip was set up automatically.
-
That’s great, assume it selects a unique IP address on setup
-
@trev133 The MAC address is used to tell the difference between Duets. The router will assign a different IP address to each MAC address.

@stephen6309 Thanks Stephen. Do I need to adjust the MAC address or is that pre-assigned to the Duet?

The Duet Ethernet assigns itself a MAC address based on the unique ID of the microcontroller. Although it's not 100% guaranteed that two different Duets will have different MAC addresses, it's highly unlikely that they would have the same one. So you don't need to assign the MAC addresses yourself.

That’s Great. Many Thanks
