How to connect your MindConnect Element device to your network.
Solution
When adding your MindConnect Nano or IoT2040 to your network, there are two ways. One, where each of the network ports X1, X2 are going to separate switches or routers. Two, where both network ports connect to the same switch or router. Regardless of the scenario, it is essential to make sure X1 and X2 are not in an overlapping subnet.
If your network has a gateway, remember that the MindConnect Element devices only route to the gateway on the same subnet. For visual diagrams with IP address examples check out:
