Status Bar Shows IP Inconsistent

Problem Description​

The device can be searched in WDM, but the status bar displays "IP inconsistent", resulting in inability to connect or operate.

Possible Causes​

This status indicates that the PC network card and the WPC device are in different domains.

  • Same Domain Example (Correct):
    • PC: 192.168.1.20
    • Device: 192.168.1.110
  • Different Domain Example (Incorrect):
    • PC: 192.168.1.20
    • Device: 192.168.0.110 or 192.168.2.110

Solution​

  1. Check Subnet Settings: Please ensure that the IP of the PC network card responsible for connection and the device IP are in the same subnet.

  2. Use Static IP: It is recommended to temporarily disable DHCP and manually specify the IP address and Subnet Mask of the PC network card to ensure connection stability.
