I have lost connectivity between Lightburn and my Ruida controlled laser. I checked and actually changed the IP address in the controller in case a network conflict had developed. I can ping the laser, but can’t connect to it. I looked through previous posts but didn’t find a solution. It seems like if I can ping it, it should connect.
Any help would be appreciated.
What commonly happens to these, the Rudia is a static device. If your lan or pieces of it are rebooted, most devices ask the router for a new address. The Ruida does not have the ability to deal with a DHCP where the router assigns the IP.
Unless you’ve blocked, within the router, the Ruida ip address, you could be addressing a different device.
With a Ruida, generally, if you can ping the Ruida, it’s talking or you couldn’t ping it. However, I’ve found anything other than cut/engraving, they are pretty dumb.
Make sure you blacklisted the Ruida IP from the routers DHCP.
Does this make sense?
Thanks for the response. It makes sense to the level of my networking knowledge. However, I can ping the laser and get no errors. doesn’t that mean it should be connected?
How do you know what you’re pinging and getting a response from is the Ruida?
If your system resets or the connection times out, which it does normally, the routers DHCP will issues addresses based on who asks first. If some other device gets your Ruida address, then there is a conflict.
Did you set the Ruida as a static or reserved it’s IP address in your routers DHCP server?
This stuff is very dependable, so I’d think configuration before failure.
