Issue
What is a quick way to determine the IP address of a MNB-1000 that is integrated to a Niagara R2 station? Assume only Workplace Pro is available (Workplace Commissioning Tool is not available).
Environment
MNB-1000
Niagara R2 UNC-410 and UNC-520
Cause
None
Resolution
The IP address is stored in hexa-decimal format within the properties of the controller's shadow object. A unit-conversion calculator is required to determine the IP address in decimal format (the Windows calculator can do this task).
To find the IP address,
- Locate the shadow object of the MNB-1000
- Go to its Properties, Config tab
- Record the first 8 digits of the hexa-decimal number displayed at the "address - MAC Address" parameter. The last four digits are the UDP Port number and are not part of the IP address
- Convert to decimal
Example,
C0 = 192, A8 = 168, 01 = 1, 96 = 150
BA:C0 = 47808 (UDP Port Number)
MNB-1000 IP address is 192.168.1.150
