Re: DS IP Address

The Driver Station will be 10.te.am.5 on the competition field, and it's easiest to stick with the FRC IP conventions. Using conventions make it easier on all of us. On the field other IPs may be blocked.
  • 10.te.am.1 = Robot DLink
  • 10.te.am.2 = cRIO
  • 10.te.am.4 = extra team router (optional)
  • 10.te.am.5 = Driver Station/programming laptop (Ethernet)
  • 10.te.am.6 = Programming laptop
  • 10.te.am.9 = Driver Station/programming laptop (wireless)
  • 10.te.am.11 = Camera
Technically, off the field and out of the competition pits only the cRIO IP is fixed and unchangable (or at least is very hard to change).
Everything else is negotiable and your programming and other laptop(s) can be any 10.te.am.xx as long as it doesn't conflict with any of the pre-assigned IPs. The only hard and fast IP is the one assigned to the cRIO.

The most common additions are the use of DHCP at home for dynamically assigning addresses above 10.te.am.20 or so.
The use of additional cameras at 10.te.am.12+
The use of additional programming laptops at 10.te.am.xx
