Could anyone help me understand why a powerflex 40 drive with an ethernet card keeps losing its IP address? I can go in with bootp and set the IP and then connect with Drive Executive and turn bootp off and set the IP in the parameter list on the drive but within about a month i am back out there doing this all over again. I swapped the communication card out for a brand new and reprogrammed and it worked for around a month and then it happened again. We have over a hundred other powerflex 40 drives and i've never had this problem before.
This drive is in a panel with five other powerflex drives that i don't have any problems with and is connected to the same ethernet switch as the others, so i don't think its a short or anything that is clearing the IP address. Any ideas?
