TCP/ip conflict

Question

I have a construction equipment machine control system that uses a purpose built computer based on a windows Xp operating system. It uses a tcp/ip protocol with a Ip address of 192.168.0.10 and a gateway of 192.168.0.1 to connect with internal GPS boards. I am trying to connect an external cell modem to give the system internet access for a correction source. If I switch the TCP/IP to “obtain an ip address automatically” it will allow me to gain internet access from the modem but then my GPS boards won’t work. How do I maintain my GPS connection and also establish an internet connection? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To achive the purpose, you can configure by following below steps:

1.Assign static IP to GPS Boards.

2.Enable DHCP for external cell modem and make sure it's in a different subnet.

3.Check if the network Settings on Windows XP machine are correctly configured to handle both connections.

 

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

 

Best regards，
