Overview
Just Add Power’s Advanced Matrix Programmer (AMP) enforces a standardized IP addressing scheme for all Devices to ensure consistent deployment, reliable communication, and simplified system support.
By default, AMP uses the IP subnet 172.27.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0) for the Device Network. This prefix is automatically assigned and managed as part of the AMP configuration process.
The Device Network IP prefix can be changed if required; however, AMP restricts available options to the approved subnet range of 172.20.0.0/16 through 172.29.0.0/16. All supported subnets use a /16 (255.255.0.0) mask, and selection outside of this range is not possible within the software.
Changing the default prefix is only recommended in the following scenarios:
- Conflict with an existing
172.27.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0)subnet - Managing multiple Just Add Power systems from the same control LAN
This article identifies where to configure the Device Network IP prefix in AMP.
