Static IP Issues

jleadbetter

So I am able to connect to my wireless network. The issue is that the unit aways picks up a DHCP address and not the static IP I have configured.

Here is my configuration...
; Network
M550 P"Tronxy x5s" ; Set machine name
M551 P"xxxxxxxxx" ; Set password
M552 S1 ; Enable network
M587 S"xxxxxxxxxx" P"xxxxxxxxxx" I192.168.0.229 J192.168.0.1 K255.255.255.0 ; Configure access point and IP addresses. You can delete this line once connected
M586 P0 S1 ; Enable HTTP
M586 P1 S1 ; Enable FTP
M586 P2 S1 ; Enable Telnet

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Are you sure the address you're trying to use is actually free on the network?

Do you have access to the router configuration? It's usually better to use the router DHCP reservation table to assign a permanent IP to the Duet.

M587 shouldn't be used in config and will fail if not preceeded by M552 S0.

Step 7 is where you should be setting the static IP address.

It may be worth using a plain M587 to see what networks have been set up, then deleting them with M588 before starting again.

This is done while connected via USB and once configured the wifi module remembers the settings though power cycles with no need for the lines in the config file.

Edit: I'm guessing you followed the instructions right once to setup you duet to your network but then decided to use a static IP. You added the M587 with static IP to the config, but because the adaptor was enabled in the previous lines the M587 had no effect. The wifi module had already connected to the network with previously stored values.

As Phaedrux says though, better to use your router for static address management anyway - it is harder to accidentally assign the same address to two devices. In this case just delete the M587 from your config and set up a reserved IP adress on your router based on the Duet's Mac address.
