Network Settings with OM5P-AC

[gerthworm]

The screensteps live page lists the following caveat for the new OM5P-AC router:

Note: It is not possible to modify the configuration manually for the OM5P-AC

(from https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s...anual-id=13503 ).

For our team, this is the first year we are trying to use a coprocessor (Beaglebone) and one or two axis cameras. Historically, I've assigned static IP's to everything and added IP reservations for their MAC addresses on the router, this appears to be very robust on our test board.

However, it would appear we can't set up reserved IP addresses on the OM5P-AC (no website, no ssh).

So far, things seem to be working ok... about one in five power cycles the cameras and BBB don't show up on the network (easiest solution seems to be to reboot). I am presuming this is related to the OM5P-AC not assigning the IP addresses requested, but I haven't fully confirmed it yet....

FYI, I'm presently using 10.17.36.11 and .12 for the cameras, and .20 for the BBB.

So, for any other teams who have many network devices, what sort of setup are you using for maximum robustness?
