The ibaNet interfaces X8 and X9 are intended for use with dedicated ibaNet-E connections that can acquire data with a synchronization accuracy of up to 1 µs.

The two 1GbE interfaces are with switch function and support:

• Autonegotiation (100/1000 Mbit, full duplex)

• Auto-MDI(X)

The ibaNet connections X8 and X9 also appear as network cards in the Windows network settings. Since X8 and X9 are designed with a switch function, they are only displayed as one network card in Windows:

This means it can also be used as a separate network adapter in Windows.

Please note that if connections are open and not connected, a red cross (X) will not appear next to the network adapter in Windows network settings.

IP settings

The IP settings for this network card depend on the ibaPDA version during a new installation:

ibaPDA	Name of the net work card	Standard IP settings
			IP address	subnet
< v8.13.0	IO bus	fixed IP address	169.254.255.2	255.255.255.252
from v8.13.0	ibaNet (X8-X9)	DHCP	-	-

After updating the ibaPDA version from < v8.13.0 to ≥ v8.13.0, the previously configured IP settings are retained.
