TS8997, change IP address of OSP-B157W8

Question

We are running TS80097 with WMS32 software. Due to changes in the local network we have to adapt the IP address of our OSP 150 with OSP-B157W8.

How can I change the address of the OSP-B157W8 module?

Answer

When connecting a monitor to the OSP you can see the IP address of OSP. Since the OSP-B157W8 module has its own computer and IP connection, B157W8W8 must be addressed with a different IP address. The default address is 192.168.48.157.
