6445G IP Address problems
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2020
Not sure if this is the correct cubbhole to put this in, but here goes.
Is anybody else having problems with their 6445G loosing it's IP settings?
I had .17 firmware, and got an update to .18 with no change. At totally random intervals the controller will stop talking on the network. When I go into the controller the IP address is still there, but unless I rewrite the numbers it's deaf as a post... most of the time. I have had a few occasions where even that did not fix the issue and I had to finish the day via the USB cable. I can be working right along, and after three or five or ten jobs, I go to load the next one and I get communications errors.
I do network service, and even my diagnostic equipment could not see the controller until I rewrote the IP address. I have had it misbehave for a few minutes up to a few hours. All of a sudden it will show back up on the network and everything is happy.
