I beleive V2.3.9 has changed the IP add,,read the release notes.

Greg N8GD

It's the MAC address scheme that changed, and this basically messes up SmartLink.  Read the release notes for 2.3.9 as Bill suggested.  If you have a static IP set, you'll need to redo it, and, I think, reboot your router to get things working again.  Check the notes for the actual procedures.

Greg,  Would you please expand on how to set up a static ip for the radio within SmartSDR.  I couldn't find any place to do that in SmartSDR or on the 6600M screen
Tnx, Jim - W5AP

Setting up a static IP address for the radio is not done in SSDR or the radio (as long as it is already set up for DHCP / dynamic IP address assignment). You do this in the router by assigning a fixed IP address to the radios' MAC address in the router. Typically, if you go to a router's DHCP configuration area, you will be able to view the MAC address of a device (the Flex in this case), and assign it to a fixed IP address. The steps to do this vary from router to router, so I will not try to describe the steps to do this.

I would strongly recommend letting your DHCP server set the Flex IP. Setting a device in a network to a fixed value not coordinated by DHCP can (will) lead to duplicate addresses and singular headaches.
