How do we modify (unlock) the IPV4 address for the polupulse ?
Actually mine Polypulse is 192.168.1.1 which is the same of my Internet Box Router so it’s doing conflict between the two.
And i see there is a lock near the Polypulse IPV4 address avoiding modification.
Is there a way to unlock it ?
For now to access the project files manager i have to deactivate my wifi connection and use IPV6 Polypulse address.
So the PolyPulse assumes the router has a DHCP server that assigns IPv4 addresses to devices.
There is no way to set a static IP instead of waiting for an DHCP server to do assign one, so the IPv4 and IPv6 show a lock to indicate it can’t be changed by the user.
Is the IPv6 field empty or does it have something that starts with fe80::…?
If it has an IPv6 you should be able to reach the file manager by typing polypulse.local into your webbrowser. Typing out the IPv4 or IPv6 shouldn’t be necessary.
What I also found is that when I do not have a cable connected to the PolyPulse the ethernet IPv4 shows 192.168.1.1 and the IPv6 field is empty.
Ok, so if i want a new polypulse IPV4 address i must plug it on my internet router first to let it find a new one in the network and then after Polypulse will keep that new address ?
If you are connected like this:
The router should assign unique IPv4’s to all devices connected, including the PolyPulse. You should also get a IPv6 that starts with fe80::….
If the PolyPulse shows this:
ethernet IPv4 192.168.1.1
ethernet IPv6
then there is no working connection to the router or the router is incorrectly configured. Perhaps try using a different ethernet cable.
Fixed it !
So to summarize, if you use a wifi connection and like in my situation, you have a conflict with the IPV4 address between Polypulse and your internet router. To change the Polypulse IPV4 address, first you need to connect it to your router (with the router configured in DHCP mode). Like that the router will automatically allocate a new IPV4 address to the Polypulse. Once the new IPV4 address is set in the Polypulse it won’t change, and then you can plug it directly into your laptop/PC and use the wifi without any IPV4 address conflict.
The routers DHCP assigns an IPv4 to the PolyPulse when they are connected (and the exact IPv4 might change over time). If you then disconnect the PolyPulse from the router and connect it directly to your computer you are on a different ‘network’ so the IP assigned to the PolyPulse by the DHCP is irrelevant and forgotten.
You access the PolyPulse file manager via http://polypulse.local. This should work both with and without router.
If you want to send OSC to the PolyPulse, first try it using polypulse.local as IP address, if it does not work then you try using the IPv4.
Yes i confirm. So sometime i just deactivate the wifi to access the file manager.
Not a big deal at the end…
Yes but that should only be necessary when directly connected to the PolyPulse without router.
Which is my case…
Best thing would be to have the ability to change the polypulse address in static mode (no dhcp). Which is something very common these days.
I just switched to Windows 11 x64 and actually all is working nicely.
No more need to deactivate wifi to access polypulse via network.
Seems Windows 11 manages it flawlessly.
Just notice that I have IPV4 and IPV6 activated for the wifi and ethernet connections.
