Setting up master & slave with SA380s requires careful IP address selection. The IP Addresses must all be on the same sub-net, and both master and slave must be configured as below.
Master IP Address: A.B.X.1
Slave 1 IP Addres: A.B.Y.1
Slave 2 IP Addres: A.B.Y.2
Slave 3 IP Addres: A.B.Y.3
Slave 4 IP Addres: A.B.Y.4
Slave 5 IP Addres: A.B.Y.5
Slave 6 IP Addres: A.B.Y.6
Slave 7 IP Addres: A.B.Y.7
Example Configurations:
MPEC Factory Default
Master: 10.0.2.1/255.255.252.0, def route 10.0.1.138
Slave: 10.0.1.1/255.255.252.0, def route 10.0.1.138
Alternative example
Master: 192.168.0.1/255.255.252.0, def route 192.168.1.1
Slave: 192.168.2.1/255.255.252.0, def route 192.168.1.1
It is advisable that the loggers are all attached to the same hub, and that no other traffic is present on the network.
