computer reboot needed after power cycle on cDAQ?

[Biosolutions]

I have a dell latitude 5450 and a cdaq 9188XT

they are connected by a direct ethernet connection.

if i turn off power to the c chassis, but leave power on to the PC, i have to reboot the PC to be able to connect to the chassis again in MAX

the refresh and reconnect options in MAX dont find the device.

Is the IP somehow lost?

Do I need a router?

Hi Biosolutions,

I believe the IP address is changing when you power cycle your cDAQ. The next time you connect the device in MAX, goto the "Network Settings" tab and find the "Configure IPv4 Address" setting. Select "Static" here and enter a local IP address, then make sure to Save to apply the settings.
